A few years ago I had the opportunity to buy an Aster LGB Garratt loco; at the time I passed on the chance, but due to changes in circumstances I changed my mind when I found one on Ebay.de that a collector had bought and never run.
So I got a new loco as a birthday present to myself ( a couple of weeks late, but it was worth the wait).
Here she is under going "gauging trials" on the Linz Gstadt Bahn.
(Not that she needed a trial as Neil Robinson's Garratt graced my line around 5 years ago).
The lit firebox is a treat and the valve gear motion is hypnotic, what a loco.
LGB factory sound is excellent as I would expect, and after I lubricated all the metal valve-gear on both power bogies, she had a tour of the LGB.....
