second Q in as many minutes,
thinking of getting a mamod live steam loco, and running a garden railway, i've noted that you can get the mamod loco's in gauge O and gauge 1 for about £25 differance.
Now O gauge track seems to be non existiant on ebay, appart from the tinplate stuff, so buying new is a must, could get expensive,
But i noted that gauge 1 track is the same as G gauge track, just the G gauge track is much less detailed it seems, as the mamod is hardly a fine scale model, i'm wondering if i'd be better off going for the gauge 1 loco, and running it on G gauge track as this stuff seems cheaper than gauge 1 track, and is available second hand.
Can someone spot the glaring mistake i must have made? i do know one fallback if i go for gauge 1, if i really like this live steam thing as much as i expect to, then when i get bored with the mamod and want to go for a better loco, it's going to cost me big time.
Wonder if building track would be the cheapest way to do it, don't need any detail to start with, so strips of copper/pcb material and the rails and a few days soldering it all up.
