Just last night, the all scale MMR club had a British guest who showed us some vintage footage of London's railroads and during the break brought out a brass/resin kit that requires very similar work to complete. Lot's of brass parts needed folding, forming and soldering. It's generally a lot easier than cranking up your welding rig to do Claude Wade's cast brass boiler from the 60's!
I got quite a kick out of those British steam engines, most of who looked like Thomas. I was surprised how many smallish tank engines were pulling passenger trains.
