Urien climbing the 1 in 25 to the workshop

Urien climbs up the steep gradient into the storage yard in dads workshop with a train formed of 5 four wheeled goods vehicals and 2 bogie carriages.
Urien's chuff did sound a lot better then it does on the video. At some point I'll have to get the Caradoc sorted out for a run up the bank, its chuff pipe should make it sound immense! :D

"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

That is what I was thinking. I'd bet even Isabelle with the open ended exaust pipe would sound good going up there. And just imagine the steam plume :D
