Special note: No other supplier, as far as I am aware, publish a costings list with a grand total for any 6" scale engines. Presumably because the cost might 'panic' a customer. Please note this list includes everything: laser cut hornplates & tender sides, rolled steel smokebox, cast differential bevels,steering worm & wheel, all the iron & gunmetal castings and the rolled steel chimney & spun brass cap - but not the gear cutting for the road gears or the boiler.

Little Samson castings are the cheapest around - do not take my word for it check for yourself. Do email any questions you might have.
