And people tell me all the time that my 4 3/4" models won't pull much. Very nice work and a true testament of your building skills.

Matt,

thank you for your compliment. Our loco is a narrow gauge locomotive, so its
bigger as a normal gauge loco and much heavier, we thought about a second car.


All the best,
Chris
