However to date I haven't been give anything, they want me to buy it all[:D][:D] And seeing I can't afford most of it, I have to build my own. So I build NZ trains, because there is no point building trains from the other side of the world, that I have never seen, when others already have a much better version complete with sound courtesy of the manufactures. I do buy the motor blocks though. The first loco was a wooden top on an Aristo motor block. My next one is a cheap 2nd hand bachmann porter that’s had the top removed and will have the chassis altered and a new top built. The worst thing about scratch building trains from a different country, is you have to build a whole set of wagons too, before you have a decent train you can run. Trams are more forgiving in that respect; A tram on it's own looks OK. Run an engine on it's own, and you get told you've left the wagons behind! My results are no-where near as good as kstrong or the manufactures, but I still like them and get them out for a run occasionally. Glen.
