    An export license for the rail corridor might be a tall order

    but don't you just love the 1:1 scale?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I know people who own steam trains.
    12" : 1'
    They make owning Landrovers (even 101's) look cheap and easy.

    Yeah, and even once you've restored or built it, where do you run it? I know a bloke with 3 steamers and 2 diesels 12":1' scale in his front and back yard, his track is all of 80 metres long. Add a carriage and there's barely enough reason to fire a loco up.


    I'm a qualified shunter...bottom of the food chain haha

    It comes with 14 kilometres of railway formation and right of way plus a station!

    You just have to live in New Zealand and barrack for the All Blacks!

    Not quite in the same league but a mat of mine runs this workshop:
    Dinki Di Engineering Pty Ltd - What we do... Model Engineering

    These are for the "room challenged" steam loco driver.
