I've got to hand it to you, Graybeard.... you're on the right track! I'm running a Ruby myself, although my only regret is that I did'nt hold out for a Roundhouse "Billy" or Cheddar "Samson". Why did I go Live Steam? I already run O-Gauge indoors, I figured being a completely uncured gear head the next thing to do was to take it outdoors, naturally, Live Steam. Is it the only way? Of course not, but, I get a great bit of satisfaction puttering around with my little dragon, more so than running another electric engine. Having said that, I fully intend to convert to battery power an LGB engine of some type for outdoor use also. Is a live steamer messy? To a degree yes. I would not even consider it as an indoor hobby, not ment to be. ((I'd love to get the use of one of the empty hangers where I work, that would be excellent!) I confess that my wife threatend me with bodily harm if I even looked like I was going to set Ruby up under the Christmas Tree. Live Steam is much more hands on, including a few good blisters along the way. It is not for un-supervised children or for those who cannot be trusted with matches...... Do I reccomend Live Steam? You bet! Hey on top of all of the above, you can purchace some excellent Live Steam engines for about the same price as an Electric lookalike, take the plunge, you won't regret it!
