Great video. Thanks for posting the link.
Trains do not look right though. In many years of visiting the Isle of Man Steam Railway I have never experienced a train where more than 2 of the coaches are the same type, same dimensions & same colour. And never been on a train with all coaches the same.
I'm sure it probably happened in the old days when the coaches were originally painted those colours.

The Back to back should be 28.5 mm as set by Big big and what every other company (Roundhouse, Mamod etc) has followed. I checked mine and there fine. We have had wagon wheels out of guage before but since we own a lathe we were able to machine them to corret tolerance. If you know someone with a lathe (Not me Im snowed under as it is) it might be worth getting them machined.

Am I the only one who has yet to have a major issue with these carriges or any accucraft stuff. I keep hearing horrer stories off everyone but yet to have any problems myself. Exept for a blocked staem line but that can happen to anyone.

Ive never had the pistons fall off the spindles but ive had the spindle come away from the cross head so it was running on one cylinder. I wondered why it was running a bit lumpy that day.
