@paullubliner I understand, still not what I'd call a "poor mans' hobby", but that's just my opinion.
-
@applejak2000 What has alignment got to do with everything working? Just say what you mean. It avoids confusion for others who don't know and still others who do! By the way, there are fellows who are building Kreider's NKP Berkshire that do make EVERYTHING WORK. Dave More offers fully functioning Worthington feedwater systems and power reverse (for that 2-8-4) and I have even seen a working stoker on a ten wheeler. It's just well out of the norm. THAT is not worth the effort, words are EASY!
-
When I said "everything has to WORK" I obviously mean valve gear, proper alignment in the drive train, boiler, steam piping, water supply etc. etc.--- NOT accessories and appliances! I building a 1 1/2" scale Climax for 7 1/2" gauge track...Oh never mind, it's not worth it!
-
@alecifel: 2 foot gauge divided by 7 1/2" is the answer, you do the math. If you can't, it is not likely you will be building one.
-
@kutzbill That's because Cagneys go for a premium like a vintage collectable car. A rusty and non-running 1935 Packard goes for how much? A nice 7 1/2" gauge (as seen here) Allen "Mogul" or 2-6-0 in good running order can easily be had for $ 7,000 - $ 9,000.
-
@applejak2000: Not quite, very few live steam locomotive models have "everything" work. Most have dummy pumps, stokers, power reversers etc. My front end cross-compound type air pumps work but actually in simple. The power reverse (Not an Alco Type E) is a dummy. My N.Y.C. J3a 4-6-4 locomotive weights in at 1,500 pounds.
-
@OnlyTheEd: Get the engine and then a truck or a trailer to take it to the many existing tracks. That's what I did.
-
@MrDaylight844 Do it!
-
Let's see, $15,000.00 for the "train", maybe equal that for trackage, and 3 or 4 maybe 5 times that for the piece of property....I'm out! :-(

has castings for this scale steamers for the DIY folks & they start at several thousand built up and running, but
you could build a scratch built electric for a few hundred $'s depending on how cheap is your scrap parts co$t
