The Sammie is slightly different from Millie in as much as this loco has an
internally fired rather than a 'pot' boiler. Despite Roundhouse engineering
and logistical backup this is still a 'budget' loco, and the price point
will be impressive. I am very much looking forward to getting my mitts on
one soon and will then be able to answer questions and provide more info.
unlike Ruby, Sammie will be also available in the slimmer gauge (or should I
say 'the true path' John! Heh...heh....:-) )
