Budget ruled in the end. I picked up a second Henschel LGB 0-4-0 shunter to make a pair. This afternoon I have ballasted them with lead flashing and hooked up the track power so they are running as one loco.
To dark for a pic but will get one soon. Have to say for minimal £ once they are loaded with a few llbs of lead under the hood and sharing pickups they are pulling 15 wagons slow and smooth. Thanks for all the advice.
The only trouble is i want a 44 tonner and a LGB 0-6-0, and a rugens plus a pait of stainz.....after all you chaps ideas! wifey is being a tuff negotiator at the mo being overdue with the baby and a right stress head. garage with the shunters was needed solace!
Thanks specially to Stainz master who effectively gave me the idea of doubling up to get the grunt, jsut did it with diesel outline as already had one!
