I'm not what you would call a train enthusiast - I am more of a all things mechanical enthusiast - however I have a niggling itch to build a locomotive for myself and my little lad to ride on.
We are lucky enough to live relatively close to the Abbeydale Miniature Railway built and run by the Sheffield Society of Model and Experimental Engineers and we have had great fun riding on those engines.
It is probably too advanced to tackle something like that with my very limited machining skills at the moment but perhaps I can work up to it.
Are there people here that build and ride miniature locomotives? - If so, is there a specific engine you would point me towards as a first time builder?
