Nicely put. I had searched before but was obviously looking in the wrong place. But I was delighted that someone in what we loosely call the "real world" had had the same idea.

A trip to Zwingen for a steam day and a quick test of the new tender for my Regner Vincent. Early days yet, as the loco is going to get a new cab too, and the tender is still painted in works grey.
Link to a short video underneath the pic.

Yesterday was traction engine day on the K&NWLR, as someone was asking about the scale of D.R. Mercer engines, but I´ve included the new Maxitrak / Accucraft one as well for comparison.

There´s been talk of the old Pearse locos in other necks of the woods, so in the interest of the almost-heritage community (about 15 years old and just serviced), here are some from this morning on the K&NWLR.

It´s been a programme of over two years, but the original Roundhouse locomotives, collected since around 1995, of the Kent branch of the K&NWLR have now all been serviced and are all in perfect running order again. Time for some works photos of the apple green fleet. Might even get round to nameplates and numbers now ...
So here is Part 1.
