Yes, Barrie, I take this on board. It is, perhaps the search for an engine
that
a) I like
b) Is suitable for a first attempt
c) Has good clear drawings
that has delayed my starting.
I picked up a set of Don Youngs Black 5 drawings plus W&M last Summer. They
are superb, but I do not think this is a beginner's project....besides,
SWMBO says it is tooooobig !
I wonder if there are any opinions about Don Young's LSWR O2 0-4-4t design
in the modeleng@freelists group ?
Best wishes,
Jem
