Afternoon all,
Hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post.
I’m looking to start building a garden railway in the near future and wanted to loosely base it on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway using Accucraft wagons and coaches for stock.
My issue however is around RTR motive power. I’m aware Accucraft produced an electric version of the W&LLR ‘countess’ however these seem to be rarer than hen’s teeth sadly and expensive (albeit i’m Sure worth every penny).
As such does anyone have any suggestions for a RTR steam loco I could use and ‘Anglicise’ (or its Welsh equivalent) that might pass muster? I was thinking of a re-paint, adding nameplates etc. I have an lGB ‘2091’ Class I plan to do similar with.
I’ll be using 45mm track if that helps and plan to use Remote Control as far as possible.
I’m definitely of the school that ‘if it looks ok I’m happy/not fussed overly with scale or prototype accuracy.
Thanks in advance.
Greg
