So I just managed to pick up the 25th anniversiary issue and was very impressed, and actually inspired, I've wanted to get into live steam for a while and after reading about Mr. Horovitz's trams on his layout, I'd like to build one like No. 1    just something small, light, and simple to get my feet wet in live steam... so I was wondering if there were plans out the for it, or a list of materials to build one like it? THANKS
