That looks like a lot of fun, and the pants got the steam pressing too!
I am envious as that is a fine railway you have there.

I really enjoyed the video, and I think you did a great job.
In my opinion your low down camcorder angles made it very business like.
Top marks mate.

... I love the video, especially at 1:14, when the train crosses the bridge over which a pair of jeans are drying in the sun. Terrific! I wish I had a garden like yours ... is it possible to make the loco run a tic slower? Does the steam throttle run via r/c?

You're going to regret asking that
So far i have:
fitted meths burner and topup valve
high pressure safety valve (35psi)
fine control regulator
new mamod wheel sets
complete repaint
resoldered boiler
drilled hole in bottom of smoke box to let water out
replaced plastic sight glass
and a new polished chimney cap and steam dome
told you you'd regret it
so far its done 278 real miles and doesn't show ant signs of stopping
