I like to watch every classic live steam toy loco running. So your video canīt be long enough! I feel pleased by seeing your Bowman 300 running like a treat! Most of the ancient toy train stuff is only displayed in a cabinet ,so people who run their classic locos are as rare as the clasic locos themselves. My old style engines "Rosie "and "Maggie" get some rails under their wheels ocassionally when I am at our clubtrack. I tellyou they run like a treat!
cheers Joe |

Hmmm...I've obviously missed whatever the problem was  But there sure isn't one now & that little Bowman really flies, literally eating up the track!  |

Thanks for the link!  Havent been on forum much recently & missed a lot.  Agree, the bad wheel slip must have been very disconcerting & what a relief the cure was so simple. Good thinking!
Go little Bowman, go! |

That is one amazing engine. I can't believe how much knowledge has been forgotten since it was made.
Runs for an hour, self extinguishes if it tips over, goes like a rocket, needs very little care in eighty years or so and as Mr Bowman was very proud of will run many miles without failure.
What a classic.
