An unusual Roundhouse Billy

[Chris Bird]

All seems quiet on here so I thought you might like to see this week's video of Roy Wood's superb take on the Talyllyn Railway's Douglas. Some will remember that it started life as a Billy but now has a taller cab and chimney plus loads of other mods. It is not ideally paired with the IOM coaches but it was running so nicely that I just had to video it........

You can see it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2GA... website news page as usual. Cheers Chris

She looks lovely, great video as usual. A Billy is on my list of possibles for my next purchase.

Great video as usual and an attractive loco - if I keep viewing these steam videos I might have a "road to Damascus" and convert!

Thanks Mick - and that "road to Damascus" sounds good to me!

And that is an interesting 7/8ths loco Tom - a nice conversion.
