the loco that I'm both building and designing breathed for the first time today, ok so it took 3 years to get this far but for my first project in model engineering (a couple of others in the mean time) it acceptable, even it the engineering is a bit agricultural - lots of welding.

Just wait till the first time you can light the fire in your own boiler!! Chris.
