Hey
Hi everyone.

Just like to start off by saying I'm only 17 and I know very very little about steam trains. However my grandfather built 2 model steam trains, both scale replicas. My gran is keen for me to try and get them running but unfortunately I don't have the foggiest where to begin and so joined this forum in search of a little help. As far as I know there's no track for the trains, but wondered if this could be purchased?

Anyway I'll get into more details in the right area of the forum, but just Hi to everyone!

Andy.

Welcome AndyM!
Do you have any info about them such as the distance between the wheels (across the axle)?
If you have a picture you could put it on the forum gallery.

Look forward to your posts.
