It sounds very 'hollow' when it's running. Still looks good though! I would have thought when you fire it, the heat from the firebox might damage the wiring on the canopy



ITs a TE1a not under steam, using a compressor, its bound to sound different to running under steam power.

Writing should be fine!

It's running on air yes. Don't forget it is meant to power the dynamo and power the whole thing along

My old man made an adapter that was put onto the compressor and screwed into the whistle thread.
