millie is really starting to run in today when I ran her for the entire run she required very little attention. 
does anyone know if millie comes with a chuff pipe fitted because she has a very nice chuff especially going up the inclines

I never thought the railroad would turn out this nice. Great Job! 
If you get a chance, could you ever take an overall picture of the whole thing at once? |

they don't come with chuff pipes. Now if you added one, it would be louder

Fantastic work. It looks really great.

Great stuff

| your line is bigger than i thought and it fits nicely with the garden. As they come the basic locos dont have a chuff pipe fitted but if you look down the chimny you can see the ends of the exuast pipes have been crimped and a hole drilled in the side making a simpler version of the chuff pipes |

| You've really worked hard & fast on this & looks amazingly matured already for such a recent installation. Certainly better than a barren bit of grass |
