Steamers, I don't know haow many of you have "Dollar Tree" in your areas, if you do, a tip:
Our local store in the "rurals" has some wonderful train videos for a $1--I have 6 that are fabulous. African, Indian, East Germany (prior to unification) Argentina, China etc. A lot of them are NG and extremley interesting and well done. Lots of steam action! (I'm afraid the narrators do talk funny like me). I can't speak too highly of these videos. The one of southern India is thru some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the world, The locos are Swiss made NG with a cog rail in the middle--a dual purpose loco!, an extremely well engineered and interesting engine. Also, have you ever heard of a German engine that was built with additional tractor wheels that run on the outside on concrete strips? Geoff.
