ELR gas fired Garratt

Post by kevinH » Mon Jun 16, 2014 3:23 pm

Have you, or anyone you know, purchased an ELR gas fired Garratt, as I am interested to know more about them and if you're local would appreciate the chance to see one.

The hand built nature of ELR locos means that there aren't many out there, I don't know anyone with one, but I've heard excellent reviews about their coal fired locos (including the garratt). As long as they've got the firing system right, then it should be a good engine.

"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."
