Double Cheddar and whistling!

[Chris Bird]

Hi Folks
A Cheddar Samson and a Cheddar Hercules make a powerful combination for double heading and although driving is relatively easy, getting the whisling right isn't!
In this short film we had too low a pressure on Hercules to start with - but the whistles give nice steam effects. Also apologies for the low flying aircraft that plagued us on Roy Wood's woodland railway.

You can see it here:

And on my website as usual.
Cheers

A lovely video. It's good to see double headed live steam having to work!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! Those tankers are 1kg each and the bronze cannon on the bogie wagon weighs 2kg - though in fact either loco could have managed the train easily.
