My only gripe is the price. But, considering the amount of work to make one, which one of us would make them for that amount of money and still feed his family? Perhaps we "not so rich" live steamers need to consider buying trains like some plane owners do, as a consortium or small group who pool their money and schedule time to play with their expensive toy.

Really exciting Jeff! I saw the sparkie version at The Train Shop Yesterday. Looks nice. I really have to convince Bing, Charlie and Cliff to start thinking hard about a live steam version of their West Side Heisler!! I would love one of those. Can't wait to see that Daylight in action.
