Re: What to build

Hi John

Thanks for the reply. Had looked at Speedyette but the tapered boiler
puts me off building that. As for 2537 think it might be a bit much
for a first attempt at a loco. Look forward to knowing if the drawings
are in the booklet about Eva May as I think, looking at it, it may be
and easier build as a first loco.

Thanks again

Gordon

Hi Gordon, I don't think you would have any trouble with Eva May as it is a fairly basic engine. The only problem I can forsee is finding suitable cylinder...
