Cheers for the warm welcome gents, much appreciated. As for budgets for a loco and the like, I'm currently looking at a maximum of £200 to get me started with a loco, and probably another £100 for track etc. I like the look of the MSS models, but I've heard that they can be problematic. Can enyone elaborate or offer their opinions.

I've also noticed that the new Mamod loco is reasonably priced-especially for a gas fired one!!

thanks for the heads-up made-in-england. I've just checked the second hand list at PPS though; and it's not on there. Do you have a contact so that i can follow it up please?

Cheers,
Steve
