Cracker XL lower ratio gear box fitted

Hi,

I have fitted a new gear box to the Cracker XL that I have been making and I am quite pleased with the results.



Take care Tony

Looks like a good hauler. Looks like it was a popular day out for the visitors.

One thing I don't like about live steam is how skittish these engines are - your geared-down locos are a welcome difference to watch.
