Thanks for posting it Pete! Could you post a couple of pics of the conversion, please?

has it effected the running?

MTA - Sorry, I didn't take any of the conversion. I was going to fit it to my Fowler, but realised, as you have to take the smokebox off, it wouldn't be a good idea (Fowlers have all sorts going into the smokebox like dummy pipework etc I'd have to remove). So I put on Bertie instead... easy enough, undo the front bolt, remove the smokebox, cut the pipes down with a junior hacksaw so the chuff pipe fits about 5mm below the top of the chimney, and then push fit the 2 pipes into the holes. Replace smokebox... simple!

Pauly - I don't think it has really, I've noticed it runs a bit more slowly (which you'd consider a good thing). But I will probably fit R/C to it now due to my gradients and curves which make it hard to control a manual loco well.

Great, I have wanted a chuff pipe for my Bertie. Where did you buy it?

Nice video, nice noise but I've got a funny feeling I've heard the music somewhere before (nudge, nudge!)

Well if you think that was enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuO5WBT3 ... annel_page

Remind you of anything?! A certain "Weekend Return" by a Mr Mark Found perhaps?!

I guess my question was too difficult to answer.

Great video, and sound.

I was on youtube and I found this. I'm not sure if anyone from the forum has seen it, but here it is anyway.
