Ooooooooooohhh that's the best video I've seen this year!!! _________________ Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,

That was great fun! Some great shots of the two loco's racing along side by side down the straight! Good little wiggle from the little tank loco as it negotiates the curves, cold weather makes for healthy steam effects too!
I doubt that scene can be duplicated in too man Indiana garages.
They both need cars to pull, as they run, they speed up and eventually it is difficult to stay on even the 72" radius curves.
It really surprised me as the 234 actually overtook the 300 and the 234 was traveling a greater distance. _________________ Non Impedite Raditioni Cogitationis
Oh I do love that- such a great action packed video.
Im trying hard to resist the lure of the Bowman railways but itgets harder _________________ You cant get an engine for that anymore unless you are lucky
I bet the 300 would do OK on a 30" radius, dont know, but the problem with 027 is the height of the rail, the flanges will hit the ties and derail The 234 does good steam out the stack.
Mamod SL Locos have smoke out of the stack too, the New Mamod Train exhausts like my 300, out the side underneath. _________________ Non Impedite Raditioni Cogitationis
