Here's my almost completed Live Diesel having a run on a short length of track.

My project now is to re-lay the railway with new track...

Best wishes,
Dave

Brilliant work Dave..... all the effort that went into the build left me totally out of my depth and amazed at what you have achieved. The end result was well worth it. I'm sure you are satisfied with it and you should be proud of your achievement. at least 10 out of 10.

Thank you chaps.

The loco is very powerful in first gear - scale 5 mph. The motor runs at idle - 5000 rpm!

Best wishes,
Dave.

It seems a shame to paint it Dave!

Excellent work though

Loco's always run best unpainted! Here it is resplendent in red.

I can't wait to get my new track down so that I can finally get some round and round running in

Best wishes,
Dave

In that photo it looks like a 5" gauge loco
