After a long wait, the intrepid train-spotters on the GWRR finally caught a quick shot of the Mikado in action.

The Railroad's gonna need a big crane to move those bricks

Nice to see one of these in steam. Only seen static pictures and talk up to now

very very nice. Is that a down grade there or does it need a longer train. Love the sweeping bends and big engines.

Thanks all for the kind words!

Rhino, they are polystyrene replicas made for the all-action film "Invasion of the Giant Killer Bricks!!" by GWRR productions.
I haven't steamed any of them yet, but thanks for asking...

F&T (Steve), she can haul 22 cars up the 1:70 when at 50psi.

Coggles, the camera was at the top of the 1:70 bank. As the train goes past, you can see it [STRIKE]acsel askel [/STRIKE]speed up as the loco gets to the downhill side of the summit.
SWMBO was my inspiration for the curves, fnarf, fnarf.
