Good to see a couple of familiar faces and of course the layout brings back fond memories.
Love the Garrett.

Since I had the track all cleaned up from the day before, I decided to get both of my Garratts out for a double-head spectacular. The blue Garratt is seldom run - the last run was in January last year. And the LiPo battery was still fully charged.
When run together it's obvious that big blue only chuffs twice per wheel revolution, but Red does 4! That's because Blue uses the cams on the Bachmann motor blocks and there are only 2 contacts. I doubt I will go to the trouble of adding the 2 extra contacts on both motor blocks - it's just too hard to work on the monster.
Red has my own voltage driven chuff speed so is closer to 4 chuffs per revolution
So here is the video..





And while uploading to youtube I saw an old video I had made in 2013 of four Garratts running here ! Very low resolution in those days!

Great videos Greg, there is no such thing as too many Garrett videos.

They are magnificent beasts... wondering now whether I have room for two Garratts ?

Thanks Peter, and everyone else who replied.

There can be no doubt that you NEED two Garratts. Get to it! (ignore the question of room)

Yes Peter - go for it - but this time a big one!
