Maxwell contribution to the first contest
« on: February 29, 2020, 08:16:44 am »
Some of my favorite English locomotive designs, 3/4" scale Lion Thunderbolt, 3/4" scale Stirling Single, and a 1" scale Pannier Tank class 5700. The Pannier weighs 170 pounds, 3.3 ft long for your imagination  ;)

I've been wanting to get into live steam trains but I don't know now, two of those scare me.
