Engines

The engine you build will depend a lot on your skill level and available tools.  Some of these engines may require advanced woodworking skills, 3D printer, welding, etc.  Also note there are a couple engines listed here which have paid-for instructions.  These are for the 1:8 / 1.5" / 1.6" scale trains.
