I wasn't going to respond again to this thread, but Mr. Busby's kind post deserved a reply. Yes. I used the books for reference when I added detail parts. I also had my 13YO (who was then 8) double check that what I did was reasonably "correct". Yes, I agree, the Lionel Thomas stuff has "issues", especially the gauge 1 version. I'm going to have to replace the gearing in my James before Christmas, that's for sure. (got the parts, gotta make the time) Sadly, IMO, when good service and excellent quality are offered (like LGB) many people complain that the price is/was too high.  Many would rather replace a cheaper product when it breaks than pay the extra the first time for something that will last. (I'm guilty myself sometimes) My original point was simply that the smiles and laughter far outweigh the negative comments, so I must be doing SOMETHING right. Mik
