With some of the lovely weather we've had of late, I've finally gotten around to getting the Piko White Pass & Yukon Route Mogul out on the Garden Railway for the first time. She seems to handle the tight route of the B&BLR quite well, though there's a slight issue on one of the points in the passing loop, but that can be sorted in the future when the planned extension is added.
The model features both Sound and Smoke (though I didn't get around to getting the smoke operating in this video). All the sound features operate on Analog DC, with the whistle and bells when running being trigger by magnets on the track.
She really does look and sound the part on the railway and hope to feature her in many more running session in the future.
Hope you enjoy!
 
Nice loco and impressive sound. I'm now moving away from US outline. I've got a rake of WP&YR coaches that would look very nice behind that. Pity you live so far away or I could have brought them over for a play, sorry I mean test.

Oh yes, I'm sure they would look superb behind her. ;) Where's about you based too?

Hi I'm on the edge of nowhere - that's the east coast of Norfolk, just north of Great Yarmouth.
 
Nice loco and decent sounds, though too few chuffs per wheel revolution for my taste!

It sure does sound good. Totally agree on the chuff, though I hear it can be changed, with a DCC set-up. As I run Analogue I have not way of doing so. I believe it has a chip on-board, so never know. If I get the opportunity and visit a layout with DCC, I might see if I can get it changed to the proper 4 beats ;)
