| so far the build has cost around £1000, but it is a 3" scale model, so about 45" long when it is finished, it has taken 1 year of build one or two days a week. and the workshop were that photo was taken, is the college work shop. and as for making and engine for your grandson go for it, but i suggest you start him off on a wilesco or mamod model, as they are slightly more robust.
