I do like what you've got there, rather quite.
What are your thoughts on the cost-effectiveness of re-engineering Playmobil
running gear? Is it really worth it to buy and strip a whole loco? (or do
Playmobil supply scratchbuilding (spare, replacement) parts?)
I'd love to have more information on the process - seeing in further detail
what others have done for steam drivers might save the rest of us (ok, me!)
plenty of costly experimentation. :)
No pressure of course, I mean if it's a royal hassle to tear it down and make
pics, don't go through the trouble. Your call.
Cheers,
KMaynes
