Western Thunderer
This is an infill project designed as a bit of occasional light relief from a couple of live steamers. It will probably be fitted with onboard batteries rather than catenary pick up; either way, it won't have to do much work other than shuffle itself plus a couple of short wb wagons about.
An original idea was to use a Peter Spoerer fosmotor etc., but a small Mashima plus gearbox is becoming more likely.
Bits are being collected, including a suitable crew.
Indeed, in some ways the main point of this first posting was to let any scenic G3 modellers know (were they not already aware), of a source of good quality figures.
1:22.5 scale Model Citizens
I ordered a few on spec. recently. ordered via the website, paid by paypal, and they arrived very promptly.
Among other options, figures are listed under 1/24 and 1/22.5. although examples of both measure up to c. 77- 78mm tall, hatless.
Thoroughly recommended.
