I don't have a live steamer but I keep hearing the call. It seems to me that if I want a vaguely American look and an inexpensive (under $1000) starter my choices are
Accucraft Forney (not out yet?)
Roundhouse Sammie
Am I missing any?
Maybe an Accucraft Ruby--I'm assuming the Forney is a ruby in different clothes--is that right?
My layout has a lot of 8 foot (R#) curves, so that's another limiting factor
The rave reviews here for Roundhouse, coupled with the relatively strong dollar, seem to be making the Sammie a good choice. How long will it run on a full boiler and a full tank of gas? I'm really completely clueless
