Who are you calling Nancy, you are the one who went in when it rained! Living where you do it's amazing you ever get to run trains if you wimp out when it rains...

And I just like that smiley! :toothy2: :toothy2: :toothy2:

(Yup, thread well and truly Bungled!)

I really enjoy rain, It was great when I went to wales, that's the problem with suffolk, it doesn't seem to rain properly

NEVER radio control for steam locomotives; it is for model aeroplanes or cars. A model steam locomotive needs to be driven with your hand on the regulator

Rather difficult to do in our scales which is why a lot of us use radio control, operating the regulator at a distance.

Though I agree with the sentiment, I could not follow my loco around, and as I have multiple gradients, the regulator needs constant adjustment.
