Anyone else do HO scale Modelling?

@Quizzical I know right! So many awesome things that I can't afford! I get the used and run down things and fix them up. I bought an engine off of Northlandz the largest model RR in HO scale ever. Kinda cool to Imagine what it's seen in its life as it rolls around my little denville.

But One day I'm going to buy a really really nice steam engine

@TomboyJanet Most of my money went on Meccano, Lego and Scalextric cars back then, lol.

You're after a REAL steam engine?

@Quizzical LOL I WISH!! no I mean like an HO scale one of a particular real life one I liked.

@TomboyJanet Ahh, lol. I was going to suggest you watch a few Youtube videos of a guy called Fred Dibnah, he used to renovate steam trains and suchlike. One of those guys who is really easy to watch and listen to as he has such a knowledge and passion for what he is doing.

However, avoid his steeplejack videos if you don't have a head for heights. I feel sick just watching them 🤢

@Quizzical HAha I still got my tomboy spirit of adventure! but yeah It would be sooo cool to be like Ward Kimbell or someone who had their own real engines in the yard with track and all.

@TomboyJanet Unfortunately my engineering knowledge pretty much stopped at Meccano... Oh and taking things apart and never putting them back together again 😁
