Last weekend I went to our local club track

found them on the memory card.

I'm impressed. Where did you source the tender load from? Or did you make it yourself?

Very nice Graham. Its been a while since i've seen any vid of your locos! Marvin seems to be running well, and thats a nice length train for it too! Nice to see the rolling stock still all in original Mamod livery! I'm not used to seeing that!
