Roundhouse Darjeeling Garratt at the Compton Valence Light Railway
Hi folks
Yesterday, thanks to Kris and Sam Dutson, I managed to make a little film of this amazing loco on their relatively new railway. The DJB resonator whistle sounds just right - though we didn't always have enough steam pressure for full voice.

I do find that DJB whistles don't sound great on Roundhouse locos as 40 PSI isn't enough for a decent chime whereas Accucraft run at 60 PSI so the whistles sound better.

Great video Chris. I do like your Garrett and the layout looks fantastic.
