Well I've finally convinced myself to take the plunge into the "big stuff"!
Every time I look out the window at our big rock pile I can picture a winding right of way accending the grade along the creek up to the gazebo with an old steamer grunting away! (with a load of ice and beverages of course!)
Okay so it's all under three feet of snow right now, but I can still picture it all the same.
So, first question has to be... is it worth investing in the Bachman 2-6-0 for a starting point? (I have one available to me) Or should I save my pennies for something grander?
I'm planning on handlying the track and going radio controlled with batteries, any thoughts?
With house renovations winding down and hopes that we may get to actually spend time on yard this summer I'm hoping to just slow down a bit and enjoy life.
Thanx for any thoughts!
