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

It is amazing to see how quickly your railway has progressed, and great news to hear the Millie is working better.
Will be even better with some more running in.
Looking forward to your videos next. |

| 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 |
