Yes, it is fine without rolling stock, but I like to have it pulling something. It is also harder to control the speed without some rolling stock behind it.

How many wagons can yours pull MM? Not sure whether to get another wagon or not.

About 9 I think, well i couldn't add any more as I didn't have any

Keep a lookout for the heavier passenger coaches and the goods wagon

Ey, it certainly feels much more energetic, gives it a bit of an adrenalin boost. Was thinking of just buying the burner, but think it does need the safety valve, so glad I got that as well.

Thanks has to go to our mamod loco expert MM for his helpful advice.
