Found it! It's in the reference libery section. Once I've got all this school work out of the way, I might have a go.

yeah, it looks good. Looks a nice simple way to slow your loco down (looked rather fast in the video! lol) and cheap too.

Can I drag this back on topic? Caradoc had a test run today, the engines timing seemed off in forward and the radio glitching was quite bad, some serious tinkering before Friday is gonna be needed! (photos from today to come)

Here is a pic of the loco during testing, stopped on the bridge trying to get some pressure up before heaving itself up the long gradient to the summit
The bridge its on was built by my dad, and is one of two on my line that are based on the bridge that used to carry the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway across the Montgomery canal in Welshpool town centre

But apart from that a fantastic photo. And now you've got something to work on next photo session.
