Nicely made video with no nausea inducing camera shake and more importantly, trains running at prototypical speeds.
A pet hate of mine is that so many modellers in all gauges insist on running their locos at a scale 100mph plus speeds!

Excellent work - a masterclass in construction and fine detailing. Love the attention to detail on, for example, the radiator, the exhaust and the riveting.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely comments from you all.

I have a little bit more to do on this loco so hopefully another update will come soon.

Thanks again :)

That's a superb little loco Jim....... and that last shot of her with the sun setting over the bonnet is simply fantastic. So full of atmosphere. :thumbup:

You go on a 4mm holiday and look what happens! A beautiful build James and impressed at the speed of construction and the thought that has gone into fitting the electrics. Lesson for me on a bit more planning before body building (plastic and not my feeble biceps).
It's posts like this that feed my garden railway bug so a big thanks.
