USA TRAINS BIGBOY

[main131]

This version from USA Trains is the heaviest loco to run on the Thurnby track that I can recall.
That would include the Accucraft, Railking and the live steam Aster.
It does give the advantage however that this version is unlikely to slip regardless of what load it is hauling!
You do ofcourse need a fair sized track and check before running that your 'infrastructure' has sufficient clearence.
Check out this monolith on the video

Does it do R1's mister.

 

[Westcott]

Gosh, that is a big one!
It might do R10s.
Is it 1:29 rather than MTH 1:32?

Lovely but did you convince Neil to build a line in his garden to run it rather than in the loft

If it goes round R1 England will win the WORLD CUP

it's 1:29 and requires 16ft diameter and you will need £3500.00 all die cast construction

Yes, Neil told me about the railway in the loft. Apart from some limitations on space, it is not the sort of engine you want to run upstairs with under your arm when the wife turns up unexpectedly She's going to find out about it anyway after the loft's floor has caved in.!
