Great video Graham.

I like the prototypical speed achieved. Wonder how many more wagons Marvin could pull before stalling out.

You missed your opportunity when I was in the kitchen making the tea!

Currently I get some incredible wheel spinning with the SL1K running as a 0-2-2T but will not pull much. Once I've got some more of those hard to find e-clips I hope it will improve.

Dream Steam is going to stock those e-clips at some point.

For just now I've used the e-clips from a connecting rod set I bought from Dream Steam to couple up my IPS Janet rebuild as an 0-4-0T. The connecting rod set is for a wheel-less SL3 that I'm repairing slowly. My SL1K is still running as a 0-2-2T until tomorrow night as I need one to take to the Merstham Steam Rally tomorrow. If I find any then I'll get as many as possible, and could then send you some.

That was great, and you can certainly tell when Marvin had to work that bit harder.
