Hello, I have just joined the forum. Have spent the past 20 years in model railways and still have an O gauge exhibition layout. Two years ago I was inspired to try building a small live steam engine and a friend of mine (who is building a 4” Garrett T/E) gave me plenty of help and advice. Having built 3 different but quite small engines in quick succession I had a moment of madness and decided I would like a live steam railway – I acquired a part built LBSC 3 1:2” ‘Bantam Cock’ and so the fun began!
