STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

[Toma]

Hello!
Did you know a manufacturer who does a steam locomotive in 1/72 scale?

[SamSagace]

one for model-railways or a plastic one ?
Bum makes one but it's very small and awful

(eventually you can ask at François Simon: he's a specialist of railways, an excellent sceneries maker... and a very nice man:

Thanks for answer, Sam.

I need a plastic steam locomotive and one or two wagons.
I would like to make a dio with robbers or Indians who attack the locomotive (1/72 of course ).

I am very curious how this goes. Thought about a little train-scene a couple of years ago, but the model locomotives are VERY expensive! If I had known I would have saved my old Märklin! Love Wild West scenes so this will be very nice to see!

Hi Toma!
I've asked to François and he gives me some informations:
Not a lot of models and more HO scale and also 25mm (but very expensive!)

Dixon en 25mm http://www.dixon-minis.com/dixoncatalogue.php?maintype=12 (75 £ the locomotive!!)
(but r
and HO painted (very rare!): AIRFIX

And :http://www.modelfair.com/product/52524/tri-ang-railways-r358-'davy-crocket'-locomotive-and-tender

I don't think that it will not be easy!

If he find something else, he will mail me ....
(If necessary, you can find my e-mail address on my blog profile! )

Thanks once again for help, Sam.

Thanks once again for help, Sam.

I'm happy to help!

and I was thinking also to CORGI metal toys : under HO in my opinion ( under AIRFIX ) and not easy to re-paint, but why not ?
look here:

Hi Toma! I've found something !!!!!!!

"Dapol" makes some railways models, some in kits, HO scale (1/76) and I think that they have some locomotives, cattle wagons and maybe passengers wagon (I don't know if they exist) which could be good for your project!!
I've done some searches on e-bay:
Look at those ones, for example:

and this (not old west) model is very nice too:


Dapol in fact do some old AIRFIX models (even figures! look at PSR)

Look at the Hornby Toy Story train set. If you want a non-working version then you can probably pick it up cheap on ebay.

[SamSagace]

It's a good idea but they are very expensive !

[Toma]

Thanks for your help, guys. I'm thinking. The best machine for me is that:



but expensive. I don't know what choose .

[KenzoSato]

[SamSagace]

You're right Toma!

Is it the Hornby train or another one?

Hi,

if you have not already bought a locomotive here is a good seller on ebay. I got a Union Pacific Loco for less than 40€ incl. Shipping. Maybe there you find something for you.
