I was intrigued by Crickets for a number of years, but only started in live steam after Berkley went out of production.  I ordered early when Mike K. announced new production. 

My engine WLW #4, is a lovely British racing green, and one of my very favorite engines -- See my two articles in Steam in the Garden for the detailed version.

Do not let the minor teething problems I had put you off.  I was happy enough to order a second one and now also have WLW #26, in bright fire engine red.  As we ran them yesterday, my only concerns were which one was prettier and whatever did I do to deserve such fun.

I have dealt with Mike Krionderis through the developement and production of these engines.  I am impressed with the pains he has taken to produce quality engines and his consistent concern for customer satisfaction.  The WLW Cricket is a great engine, and one tolerant of tight curves and steep grades.

Many thanks, Mike Simpson
