It would have to be a big trailer. The steamer weighs more than the ST :think1

I have photos but I am somewhat reluctant to part with petrol money for photobucket. I could put some on the Face Book [page I guess. :wink1

Nice work mate :thumbsup

Here is a tip for imghostr...

On the bottom left below the picture you'll see "Embed Codes" click on this and it will display a list of codes.

In the 2nd grouping of codes "Full image" you'll see "BBCode".
Copy this code and past it in the forum when you want to share pictures :thumbsup

Not really miniature when compared to N and HO gauge though.

Dad has a small digital HO layout and one my friends in Adelaide has one underneath her double garage. More like a dungeon but all that's just a model railroad layout under continual evolution and not a whip or other related hardware anywhere.

I was originally in "N" but I dismantled the layout so I could build the big ones in the shed. Going to build a new shed for the "N" Gauge.

Nah.  You can do both.  look at Diesel!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
