Hornby 3 1/2" gauge Rockets are great! Shame they can't pull a person though.

@EastwoodBirds Not true, I've seen it done

Did you make this or did you buy this? if so where did you buy it?

[trainboy94]

@train2589 It was made by Hornby and was given to me by a friend

@irishmanO1 Ya gotta bend it back

@trainboy94

I have too. But what I mean is that there is no way they can pull someone in their original form. In it's original form they struggle to pull more than a few of the Hornby coaches. You need to add more weight modify the boiler (best thing to do is to build a new larger boiler) and possibly add traction tires to the wheels. It can

be done, but you need to greatly modify the loco.

Keep in mind that the Hronby Rockets were never designed to pull the weight of a person.

@trainboy94 Cool.
