Despite all my intentions, apart from fitting one coach with a set of LGB pick-up wheels, the other three remain as before. In fact, apart from some work on the trailer and some weeding on the garden line, I have had no opportunity to run (or work on) trains this year very much at all.
Anyway, I got the opportunity to purchase a C16 loco in C & S livery (which I thought would compliment the coaches). I tested it first on the garden line and then in the trailer - being quite surprised how well it coped with all the R1 curves and switches. No pics from the trailer, but a couple from the garden ....
I really like the loco!

It certainly does complement the Sierra cars very well, Mick. They could have been made fore each other.

A very nice little rake there Mick!
The little Aristo C16s are great pullers and pretty bulletproof

Thanks for your kind comments all.
I was surprised the loco did so well on the tight curves. I had more problems with the Sierra coaches - the steps were catching some trees I planted (too near the line I think - although the JS coaches didn't foul anything!).
