I'm building the Lady Anne.
Its expensive compared to Mamods but I'm sure you know that.
Click on the link on the bottom of my post and that will take you to my website which is about building the Lady Anne.
I've been slack and need to update it.
So far only have the chassis kit, getting boiler kit for Christmas.
Roundhouse locos are well made, staff are friendly and offer great customer service.
I live in Australia and got a faulty part in my kit, sent them an email and had the replacement part 6 days later, cant beat that for customer sevice.
All the machines is done in the kits but they still are a lot of work to put together as you will see if you read my website.
Good luck

Many of my friends have Roundhouse locos, one has a Bertie, he brought it to Amberley one day, it rocketed along the track for the exhibition we had on, there was a slight hill, it stopped on it, but it was off again when it built up the pressure!
