Hi,

It is the first day here in Old South Wales for some time that the weather has been reasonable. So as I am going to a model exhibition to play trains the weekend after next I thought I would test two of the trains I will be taking. It is the first run of the steam tram since it has been painted and it is pulling some 25 year old Merlin/Pierce stock. The Glendale Rocket has had a new electric system fitted

I hope the video works! Please click on.

The video worked for me!. So that's where Postman Pat went. Last saw that loco at the 2015 16mm Assn. show at Peterborough.

The video's fine Tony. I really do like those coaches, such a shame they aren't made any more. Might have to have a go at scratch building some :)

Hi Graham,

Yes running on our Rhydypenderyn layout. At great expense the electrics have been up graded from 2.4V to 3.6V, positively HST!

Hi Alan,

Let me know if you would like photographs and dimensions, they are of a relatively simple construction.

Regards Tony.

Photographs and basic dimensions would be very useful, thanks Tony. I've been looking at the various kit manufacturers and the nearest i could get was this coach from AnDel Models,
