[modeleng] RE: [modeleng] 3½ versus 5

Jem,

Just a couple of extra thoughts on this topic:-

It is extremely important that, whatever you decide to build, you really 
want to build it because, in a project of this nature, there will be times 
when you are all by yourself and feeling that it will never be finished. At 
this point it is pure determination that keeps you going! A lack of such 
determination results in the engine joining the thousands of other part 
builts gathering dust under benches.

On the subject of scale backheads. I think a truly scale backhead is a sight 
for sore eyes but, having driven a few, I can assure you that it is like 
putting your hand in wasp's nest! and that's with 5" gauge engines.
