SCAMP - Light 7.25" Gauge Loco
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2015 10:12 pm
Dear All,
I hope that it is not too presumptuous of me to start this thread, as I certainly do not in any way wish to detract from Stockers' Pell Wall thread where the SCAMP class of locomotive has already been mentioned, but I thought there may be some interest.
SCAMP is the creation of Colin Edmondson, he of Stumpy Trundler and "Shed of the Year" fame, and is available in both kit and ready-to-run forms. The intention is that the kit can be built for around £1,000 and is designed to be transportable in the boot of a family hatchback.
I see SCAMP as a bit of a half way point between Gn15 modelling and full size Heywood 15" railways, which is probably why I was attracted to building one.
I'll aim to post updates here from time to time as mine takes shape.
