Hi All

I am a new member and I am looking for advice about a 5 inch gauge  steam loco to build

I have  engineering skills with  a mill and lathe ect at home

I am looking for a straight forward build not a monster project , so a 040 or 060  to pull me and the 2 grand kids round the track .

This is to learn to drive and understand the workings steam engines.

Advice on books & magazines  to read will be very welcome as well

Andy
