Even at my great age :D one learns something new !
Congratulations to ptlrcecil on a truly remarkable loco.
I think that those people who claim Mamods to be absolute rubbish, should be forced to see that video until they repent.

BTW can anyone tell me how much it has been modified or is that a secret ?
