Nice work! After building kits over the years and scratch building engines, cranes and other unique designs, its a creative side of the hobby.

A nice video, but the title gave me the impression that the video is about scratch building. Instead it’s more of a what to look out for when buying kit built locos. Even the description describes Phil’s four kit built locos as “scratch built!”

[@DCS1967]

@Cumberland Sausage That’s true, but the point I was making is the video’s title should have been something like “A quick guide to buying kit built locomotives” rather than mentioning scratch built.

Ok it's interesting but it should really be titled "what to look for when buying second hand kit built model railway locos", has zero scratch built info in here :-(

This is a fantastic and interesting video! Well done and more please.

Prophetic. Thank you Phil.

Good to see as kit building of locomotives is something not publicised anywhere near enough.

Wonderful video

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice video. Its intresting to see the different locomotive kits that are available. And yes not all locos are made in RTR. I have noticed that there are not alot of RTR steam locomotives here in Australia thats why there is alot of kits. Nicely explained.

Is there any special wiring between the motor and the pick-up?.. im having trouble building a scratch loco , its just not picking up anymore

[@alexjonesrock5654]

when he said about having a live chassis . because one side is insulated and one isn't . the thing is then you can't do dcc then u need both sides including the the chassis being insulated

[@shuttyskenzin9237]

Very well, could u tell us the company which made these beautiful models? ALso a link of them would be good.

[@SDE1994]

[@petert9749]

Phil: what about cadmium?

[@jackiehankin3859]

All very well but when you are on a tight budget you have to pick what you can have we ain't all on a huge wage
