It's quite heavy as it is, but I wouldn't mind adding a smidgen more low down. Wouldn't stick it in the box though, a.) full of radio gear b.) it'll wheelie everywhere
Getting the weight out of balance will actually make it worse.
Big enough engines not to look silly on a long train, especially with a cab fitted!

Nothing compared to this ( http://gardenrails.myfreeforum.org/about1339.html ) and you know how well weighted Tony's stock is. Not bad for £400s worth of loco!! Two years old now too, how time flys when you're having fun, I guess it's better than doing nothing!MoelygestLR wrote:Alicia was pulling quite an impressive load at rattys xmas steam up!
