Thank you for the very kind words Pete.
I didn't get hold of Martin's articles from ME until after I had decided to go for the Royal Scot - but with hindsight, I am still very happy with my choice. It may be more difficult than some of the simpler designs to make, but the reality is, is that for a non machinist any loco will be quite difficult - so difficulty is only really relative
Good luck on the Crossheads for your Simplex - do keep us posted on how your approach them and the outcome.
Cheers
