My my, we all have something to say on this subject. As another Brit I have to begin by saying that the Welsh/British locos and carriages, trucks and so on will always be romantic and nostalgic for me, even though I'm not really old enough to remember them. Thomas , yes of course part of my childhood. Before video the books and 78' records with Jonny Morris as the narrator were what gave steam trains real character. Most of the locos, I believe, closely reflect real welsh locos and well known main line locos. Having said that, the US critters of 0-4-0 size have a romance all of their own. I can imagine them trundling along with a load of whatever needs to go to wherever it needs to go. Some of the US 7/8ths websites have truely inspiring scratch-built critters that send me off to find out whether any of them had ever been brought to Japan. Here the history of rail began with the British stuff, then other European stock and then the US steam locos, not to mention trams. With that kind of history it is possible to have locos and rolling stock from the US and Europe running on the same line. No US stuff on the Daruma Line yet, but it is early days. Nice thread though, well worth an extended read. Matthew [bow]
