Loco vid

I've tried to do this one so it looks like a working day on the line but without too much success either way let me know what you think

pauly

I think its brillient I hope my railway turns out as good as that Thumbs up!

also is the engine remote control or manual
johnreid

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.
DLR

Thanks, the loco is manual as there's no room for RC

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.  
Steve_S

... 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! Thumbs up! 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?
DLR

Thanks guys. It is possible to ge the loc to run slower it was just having an off day and there's no RC

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

I enjoyed the video, your mamod runs very sweetly, some nice rolling stock too! I liked some of the little extra details you added to your line, like the bridge and the crossing gates, those little touches really add a lot of character and scale to a garden railway.

Great video.

Nice to see an MSS loco running so well.
