The odd casting can be on a bit of a long lead but most are OK Or if you want a road loco the 3" Mac now done by HPM is a good size and the 4" even bigger. The Little Samson in 4" is a quicker build but I don't like the look myself. And final choice is a 6" Gold Medal Tractor which comes out about teh same size as a large 4", infact it uses the sam eboiler as the 4" Mac J
