Looks very good - live steam is fun, isn't it?
 
Yeah its right good fun! Every time i see it, or another one running it makes me want one more........ just one. Sounded fantastic giving its best up the avoiding lines incline, then rolling back down the other side almost silent. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

How many of us have said that - and ended up with more than just the one! Enjoy.

The sound improves with a chuff pipe - I'm getting hooked on the sound of my steamie (fitted with a Summerlands Chuffer") digging in as it attacks the gradient at the back of my line:

Now thats a good looking railway, wish mine looked like that :crying:
 
Very nice seeing a live steamer on your line :bigsmile:
I always find it nice when friends bring round live steamers to run on my layout as i have none :thumbup:
