Thanks

I've glued up the wheels on the wagons so that they sit properly, so I won't be doing any whizzing to and fro  :(

On the other hand, the loco does have sound effects if you push a little button underneath the washer glued onto the top of the boiler (I pinched this idea from a mate of mine)

I really like the unusual uses of some very ordinary bits and pieces in the construction of your train!

I agree this is a prime example of "the whole is greater then the sum of its parts" Many of the parts used are plain and "flat" yet all together this actually works together really well and creates a strong motive allround.

Thanks  :D :D

I think that lego and fridge magnets in particular could be really useful in scratchbuilding other things
