I had some friends from the local Model Railway Club round for a running session yesterday. I managed
to persuade one of them to drive the live steam R/C Locos so that I could take some video. Here is
the result.

All I have to do now is to work out a way of securing the logs that looks prototypical.

We had a Works Outing yesterday to sunny Doncaster for a visit to the Roundhouse factory. The Roundhouse Team
excelled themselves making everyone welcome and provided a superb Buffet. Staff were Brilliant answering questions
and showing how they manufacture the parts and assemble the engines. There was even a short length of track from a certain TV
show and the battered locos showing their battle scares.
A Great Day Out.

I haven't done the factory tour, or open day, but I did pick up my Lady Anne from the factory when it was built.
I would imagine seeing them being assembled would be very interesting.

We may have to arrange a trip sometime Ian, with possibly some other members, or anybody else who would be interested.

Sounds interesting. I'd be up for a visit. I'll have to leave my wallet and credit cards at home though.

I had planned a trip there this weekend. Unfortunately a change of plans meant I did'nt make it. Thanks for sharing the video.

Just had a great run with my Regner Vincent. I decided to top up the gas after the boiler had reached pressure
and the run lasted for an hour. Good job I have a water top up fitted.
Was going to post a photo of the loco and its load but I don't seem to be able to add an image.
The forum Help pages don't give any clue as to what the problem is.
