Yeah, no steam just now.
I bought a SP 2-6-0 long ago but the soldering fell apart and it never ran well. I think it was a Key brand. It sits in pieces in a box so far. I rebuilt a PFM WP mike (and it turned out to run very well) but I sold it to buy some SD-9s.
I'm still waiting for a SP 2-8-2 or other small one with modern running properties.
It's funny. I grew up in the Oakland Hills and all I ever saw as a kid was electric freight on the S.N. Ry. and, Key System electric articulated units on the city streets. So I started into traction models first after college, and then 10 years later skipped over all the way to early diesels.
Some day I'll draw up a track plan.
