Have fun with your trains

QUOTE: Originally posted by Fletch Sorry Ralph, I dont agree. Ron's is about as close to the prototype as its possible to build, down to the exact details from the info that was available, we obtained some books dedicated to Price too. Even the large stack references the inservice photos of 2 of the 3 built as operated in NZ. The only thing he altered was to name the loco for his own RR...be that as it may..would it surprise you to know Ron maybe isn't an Auzzie born? Its hard to talk about British style or otherwise on your model which I consider more an 'engineering' or 'working' model, rather than a detailed model..but even so, you didn't try to gear it per prototype, unline some of your other really exellent working models (which I really like a great deal and prefer over this one). Vic's I agree has some added US features, but is mostly down the line also. David.
