Model railways
A video of My new South African Mallet made from Plasticard (not by me) running on Lgb Motor blocks pulls 11 box cars on its own up Hill... later after battery had died in the cam with help of my motorised "helper" Bannana wagon it managed all 18 of my Boxcars so im well chuffed with my lastest aquisision............. It is very good at slow speeds and as seen can move when it wants to here is a short vid of the proof

it will have a respray and weathering over the winter and sounds fitted and maybe a motor to the tender .... dont know weather to make it look more british or keep it as an "Re--import" ( the original was built in uk by Vulcan)

Nice loco - one shot, coming out of the tunnel, with the smoke bursting out as the loco exited, I thought was very realistic.
