not sure about the rules re hotlinking images- this (minus the `smoky joe' graphitti) is what was used as a testbench
scary- i see the sheep `friends ' over the tasman are up to 70 bucks for that one- I only paid 55 (on special mind you)
one of the reasons I dont indulge myself with a layout these days- the sheer cost is (pardon my french) furkin rediculous....
locally i can drive my car around for around a month- or buy a `hornby 040' loco like that
(true- that loco is close to a full months fuel bill for me.... !!!!!)
the N scale stuff is even more crazy- I can buy a 2nd hand car for less than a single loco!!
