I did check out the 00 stuff. I forgot they had livetseam that small! I joined a forum. I'd like to have one to run! I do find the 00 live steamers. Seem popular with the UK. No US prices, all British pounds or whatever the currency is.

also just found out hornby are no longer making the 00 gauge locos due to the high costs of manufacture and have put on hold,so my advice is grab one while you can,as these will shoot up in price ken
