New loco on St Andrews Island 7/8ths

[StephH]

Well today I finally got to run my 40th birthday pressie from my good husband, a much modified Regner Konrad built by Rob Bennett and a bit of a legend in 7/8ths circles called Moth. Rob built it a few years ago and has continued to modify it but decided to sell because it didn't get run much on his line now.... I couldn't resist when Paul asked if I wanted it as my belated birthday present!

Runs really well and has loads of power, indeed didn't have to work today as it only pulled 2 small wagons as a test train whilst I get used to it!
Fantastic looking loco's these regners aren't they all the fittings etc seem so well made etc.

Any how heres a couple of pics... I'll start a 2010 thread for the line in the pictures section as well and add a few more.

Now that's a nice little loco. Would that be Rob Bennett of Busybodies fame Steph?

Indeed it would be! By the way thanks for adding photo's into message, I forgot to do it 
The driver is a BB figure as are most of my "little people"

It was Moth that got me into 7/8ths I fell in love with her the first time I saw her at an exhibition.... its not often you get to own the stuff that inspired you to start a hobby like that!
