Old but still learning
I am developing plans for my first model railroad. Most space I can come up with now is 72 X 42, which I realize is small. I am thinking of small steam locomotive because it appears they work better on smaller radius track. Two specific ones I am looking at are:
Bachmann HO 51405 - Santa Fe #498
Bachmann HO 52205 - Texas & Pacific #316, my favored choice because of Texas connection.
Are these suitable for what I am doing? I know they are not top of line, but are they of decent quality?
All help appreciated. BTW - I am very envious of those of you who have houses with basements. Best I can do is a large garage which wife will not yield her parking space.
