Hello, I am looking to buy a live steam model locomotive. And I am wondering if you guys can help me choose one to save for
What I would like
1) 1'' scale
2) coal fired
3) I want to be able to ride it around
4) something that is reasonably priced (definnetely not 20k) somewhere below 10k
5) not to big, something that I can sit on top of a counter
6) easy to lift
7) id like the fire box door to be openable
I am looking at the maxitrak engine that accucraft distributes it is the SC&CR R1 which is a 0-6-0 british tank engine with dimensions of 34''L, 8.5''W, 13.7''H and a weight of 84lbs
any suggestions? I dont have any machining equiptment at home so i can not build one
