[COMBAT]

Thank you for the information. While we have been discussing this I have been looking around and trying to find what fits my requirements. I did find these two

Now I know that neither of them are steam but I couldn't pass up the price, $204.00 for BOTH with decoders shipped! They are normally $189.00 each.... PLUS decoders.

I also saw this while I was shopping.....

I like the look of it, a lot, but I do not know much about it. How did they get the coal to the engine if the cab is in the front. :? Sorry, I know NOTHING about steam.

The price of that one is crazy too.

What is the difference between that one above and this one here? I know the other is brass but half the cost????

ANOTHER CONCERN, This one says 22" recommened. I like the look but I am affraid of the 22 recommended Radius they list.
Recommended Minimum Radius: 22"

Thanks for the continued advice and putting up with me on my quest for STEAM!
