This is my 410 on its first run post restoration......it ran absolutely brilliantly, in the first section of the video it runs solo on two wicks. Once I attached the brake van I used the third wick, and it just went absolute hell for leather.....ran for a good 25 minutes, and when I blew out the burner there was still water in the boiler. I'm absolutely chuffed to bits!!!!
The video won't win any Oscars, but here it is, in bad light with a hand held camera.....note the sound of the single oscillating engine at the end!

Darn you anyhow, just when I think I have come upon the total number of Locos that I want to own, I see that one. Now I will be longing for a 410 too
A great little Loco. worthy of being the pride of any roundhouse.

Absolute magic mate.
I just can't believe you've got her running so well in such a short time.
You must be getting good at this kind of stuff.

A lovely finale to a great restoration project.
Do you now have all the variants of Bowman loco in your collection?

That's fantastic... what a good runner! It would be good to see it in action at STL next time.
