Congratulations! Try to avoid racing on the streets though :-)

Pics would be appreciated :-)

BTW, what happened to the driving test?

They look beautiful in their matching liveries!

Coffee and tea for me, I like both.

Another very nice loco, congratulations!

Hello, very interesting to see the bigger locos disassembled. What packing material have you installed in the piston groove, is it graphite yarn? Have you tried Teflon tape as packing? I did with very good results on several small marine engines, both oscillating and fixed cylinder. But I can't real...
