Thanks

I would like to add, that the way I was able to obtain this Kit was through a selfless act of kindness on the part of the individual who sold it to me. The seller was not necessarily looking to sell, but rather gave up their own plans for the kit. Thanks. I wish all those who are in live steam could share the joy of building a kit and seeing it come to life. I have built many model kits as well as architectural models and they were fun, but in the end, they could only be set aside for decoration or dust collecting duties. This kit is something which I will be able to take pride and joy from and share it with my family. I work with children and I will be able to share this with them as well and introduce them to the hobby of live steam. If you are pondering what to get for your first engine, or perhaps your "next" engine, why not try a kit if you have never built one before. I would buy any kit, no matter the manufacturer, if it were of this quality again. I can highly recommend Aster. Not because of the name, but because of the experience.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the people that have been of much assistance over the course of the last year which has been my journey into learning about live steam. mls.com has a page on live steam, which is where I learned a lot. People like Charles, Ryan, Semper Vaporo(charles), Jeff, David, Art, Mike, Norm, Jim, Harlan, Hans, Will, Rob,Dan,Tac,Andrew and many more I have not mentioned have helped me learn the ropes of live steam. Thanks guys. I hope to meet those I have not yet at a steam up one day.
