75 forum posts 7 photos	hi ade The best way to get help is to join a model engineering club. Unless you live somewhere really remote you'll be half an hour's drive from one. The Clayton wagon is not a simple model to build and is not that useful when it is finished except as a nice looking ornament. I spent a long time building one and was a bit disappointed with the finished article. I would be thinking of a small loco or a stationary engine as a better project. Best Regards Nick
