Nice one, Mark. Reminds me (sort of) of the Guinness Brewery engines.

Indoor shunting layout required for that loco
Using Deltang that could run R/C as well.

Agree with Tom, put it on an indoor line. It would look great pulling some beer barrels....

Yes - its funny you should say that! If we end up renting, that's the route I'm going down as a temp measure - Tony Hill's (now sold ) Melin Llechi is an inspiration - I have wondered about starting some of the boards for the fabled garage section of CHLR mk2
And yes, will make sure its 'deltangable' - there is a discussion on F/B at the mo about making a plug in and out receiver unit so we can swap between locos easily - Phil at RC is involved via his Mrs

Tom, is there a way to get 'newest posts' to appear as top of the queue, at index level? - I tend to eventually read everything, but it is nice to see the most recent postings first.

Good control, perfect for just shunting wagons about.

Thanks guys - it’s taken a while to get it balanced weight wise but it is now running sweet - as you say Tom a great shunting engine for a few sidings - a bit under powered for the main line
