Victor, I share your disgust…oh well,

Wooeee. . Ivan sent me an email today saying he is re-introducing the Tram engine kit complete with (optional) faces for the front!

I have seen them over here. No good for me they are too wide, most likely 1:20.3 scale. I do remember the prototypes which ran in Eastern England. There was a loco at the link address and I am sure at one or two eastern ports.

Alan,
Wouldn’t they be SM32 (1:19 scale?) I guess they have to be huge to match the “Thomas” locos. I should email Ivan . . .

Come to think of it Pete, I believe they are. Not really that familiar with SM32 stuff, what I saw I didn’t care for. so that’s how I came to model American.
