He also put on some coal bunkers for me which I didn't know he was going to do so that was a very pleasant surprise.

Just some name plates and some couplings to go and I think I will be happy calling it complete for my purposes. :thumbup:
Absolutely delightful Steve. He's a handy friend to have :thumbright:
He is indeed, I don't have many friends, but the ones I have are indeed true friends :thumbup:

Little bit of an update. Some temporary name plates on, being replaced with slightly smaller ones at some point soon.

Managed to get a video of it just about flat out over points and into a reverse curve as someone asked what it was like on bends. Sorry I have still not cleaned the entire track yet, but this gives you a good idea of how it performs. :thumbup:

Well all finished for now apart from adding Accucraft chopper couplings.

Thanks for watching and your encouraging comments on this build, growing from an idea into a working electric loco. It's been challenging but fun. :thumbup:
