Hi Martin,

I don't really want to do any passenger hauling, it'll really just be for me to have a drive around on, and if it can manage a friend behind.

I've looked at other locos such as the sweet pea and simplex but they are a bit out of my budget range for the time being.

Hi Bob,

I will be at the park tomorrow too. So I'll have a talk with you about it then!

Hi All,

A scamp is a loco I've had my eye on for a long time. First of all I wanted to build a chub, however that seemed a bit complicated for me, hence my decision for the Scamp which I've begun to like more and more. As this seems like a great loco start with I think i will go ahead and buy it. Where would the best place to get castings be? When I buy them will they come with everything I need to build the loco (excluding boiler). I've been looking at Reeves engineering, is that a good company to buy it from? On Reeves site they have the set of castings and then other bits underneath (or are these pre-machined?) Will I need these as well or are they supplied with castings

Hi all, I am thinking of buying the castings for a 5" Scamp. This will be my first live steam build. (I've built a 5" class 20 before) Does anyone know what this is like to build? I don't have a very good workshop but have access to a lathe, pillar drill, and a horizontal milling machine at my SMLE club. Would these tools be sufficient to build the loco?

Luke.

sorry forgot to add that the track should be portable!

Hi,

Not sure where to post this, but does anyone have any drawings or general information about making 5 inch gauge raised track?

Many thanks,

Luke
