Hi Fellas:
Just wanted to inquire, as to anyone having a old metal Roundhouse Prarie or Atlantic. If you do I'd like to hear about what they are like to build if you got it as a kit and what it runs like?
Thanks, Gareth

I was given an old Roudhouse 4-4-2 Atlantic. With only minor efforts, I got it up and running pretty well.
Here's a video I did of it in action...

When I received it, it had long ago been built so I can't comment on how assemble of them in kit form is like to do. But this one did run fairly smoothly for a rather old timer.
