Model Steam Locomotives
Where if is desired to build an engine of the smallest possible size to haul a passenger, it is better to build a model of a smalf type of engine to a large scale. For instance, a 14-in. scale model of, say, an old Brighton or L.N.W.R, single, or even one of the G.W.R. broad- gauge engines, would give much more satisfaction than an inch scale model of a huge Pacific-type engine. The cost, weight and nominal pewer would be about equal, but the gauge of the 14 in. engine would be safer and more ecomfurtable for driver and passenger. In addition, the larger engine would give much less trouble in the matter of steam-raising and in the attention required.
