Hi All,
Would like suggestions please for a good running, DCC ready, well detailed,
00 gauge Steam Locomotive which ran in the period 1955 to 1965.
I want to be able to fit a MRC 1627 SynchroSound decoder which needs a fair bit of room internally, so this would be a consideration, although I suppose I could fit the speaker into the tender.
My modelling preference is mainly GWR branchline based loosely on Kingsbridge (devon) station and the branchline from Brent (GWR through station on Exeter to Plymouth mainline), I have room at the far end of the loft to include Brent and run a couple of mainlines around the loft.
The advantage of this is that a great many different engines from all over the BR network ran over these rails during his time, including Merchant Navy and A4 class engines (not that I am particularly looking at these) so most locomotives of this period are worth a look.
I also have a preference for Bachmann models, although if a good, suitable, other manufacturers engine is suggested, I may well be tempted.
Thanks in anticipation of you replies.
Regards, Eddie.
