Looks to be running well.
Is that an IP regulator you have fitted to it?

A precise regulator is needed for proper railway use

How the hell do you use them? When the loco is running round do you have to run after it and stick your hand through the cab back??

With mine. I take the cab back off. Get the thing running at certain speed that is right for the gradients, lenght of train etc. Then just leave it going, just like with a standard reverser/regulator but with finer control and slower
