Hi All, again apologies for being a haphazard poster, but I hope you would indulge me by watching these haulage tests- don't worry i don't film the whole train every time. I particularly like the onboard shots of the loco riding at speed. This was all filmed with around 70-80 axles in the train (not counted)...

some of the speeds are unrealistically high but it was riding so flat I thought I would properly "test" it!!!

Looks fantastic in motion Ian ;D
 
What an impressive looking and performing loco - possibly the term "wizzy cranks" now has another meaning!
 
Very impressive video, Ian, not to forget mentioning the superb job on the loco. I'll bet you could put the boys on the flat cars and it would pull them round.
 
Thought I counted 25 bogie cars behind the last train, that's 100 axles! Whoo, whoooooo!!! ;D
