Yeah, I had a Harz before the Spremberger! It ran on the continuous circuit that was above most of the shop, for months and months! Having put brain in gear, it must have been the 83/84 winter, I bought it in the spring after the track was shortened to an end to end.
Memories!

How many miles did it do in Newcastle do you reckon, has anyone been tempted to work it out, real miles that is not scale miles as that would be almost to where the sun shines from,

You'd be amazed how the mileage racks up - my test rigs do between 125 and 250 miles a week depending on the speed I set, but that's 24/7. I remember the Beatties train being pretty sedate, plus it was shuttling back and forth, and I guess it was only running when the shop was open. Say 50 miles a week, which is near enough 2500 a year, and about fifteen thousand total if it stayed up there for six years. Should be nicely run in by now.
