That's brave! - Live-steam, on a pristine light-coloured carpet!

Very nice, I've a blue one, and have often thought about getting a tender for it.
How did you manage not to completely mess up the carpet?

 

[dunnyrail]

Was much better when you managed to get it running slower, have you thought about a SloMo, make so much difference to the precise controlled running. And yes brave on a light carpet…..

 

[artfull dodger]

I would get an inexpensive underlaymet as you will ruin your nice carpet with drips of oily water from Billy. That is one thing you cannot escape from even with a Roundhouse, they leave oily dribbles as they run.

I cannot find anyone who sell a Slomo.

Not as bad as one might imagine, the price is in Oz$ and the conversion rate to GbP when I bought mine was better than I imagined, they do transform running so for me well worth the cost. I wont get into import tariffs though!
