Era of steam


My model steam train arrived in the post today. Along with a couple of turn outs and catenaries! I ordered some Sommerfeldt catenary to see what they were like. They are of excellent quality and built of metal like my steam train. I've seen other catenaries that were less expensive, but they were all made out of plastic. You definitely get what you pay for. Now I have to figure out how many I'll need to complete my layout. I'll have a lot to do over the winter, but for now I'll keep accumulating equipment and focus my time in the garden while the weather remains warm. And before you say anything, the catenary are for my ICEs, not the steam train.
