It's sure a runner Lenn. Any faster and she'd fly off the oval.

[Pitchy]

Thanks Bill, dern thing probably hasn`t run for years , should do better with more cars tomorrow.
I`m using the gel burner I made, still gun shy about the meths burner.

[gamekeeper]

That looks fast, I wonder. What she'd do on a perfect straight track?........

[JOHNNY WACKO]

nice setup i wish i had room to set up my stuff its ll in boxes n my storage traitor. nothing that old though.
i have wanted to turn the upstairs of my farm house into train room but no 1 to help and it no fun alone.

Thanks guys, this loco was advertised to run for a mile and half on a tank of fuel which is alcohol.
There`s a six wick burner under the boiler which when all lit made it a very powerful loco, being it has no throttle the only way to slow it down is by adding cars though they made caps too put over the wicks to calm it down which I got four of with this train
I won`t use the meths burner in the shop as we had a big fire with the other loco so I made a burner that uses gel.
I`m going to build a big outdoor track on the future so I can let it get out and go, going to make the track myself.
They say it will run for 40 minutes on a tank of meths.

[Pitchy]

Thanks pard, here`s a vid pulling a few more cars.

I GOT THIS old 150 electric in a bunch of stuff from a old hardware store i bought out in a box of junk in the basement.about 300 trains later i boxed them up all but these i keep up over my guns. have marx trains in the boxes about 100 sets and tunnels bridges track cars and Lionel too. and some g scale LGB circus train set from Germany.Had 27 sets running at 1 time ,shook the hole house.

[Pitchy]

Cool beans, fun isn't it, I have a bunch of Marx electric and clockwork too.
Steam is the final frontier though a real challenge.

[JOHNNY WACKO]

it look like a blast,explicitly when you see the fire under it.

that is cool as hell, now i want something else.will it never end.
I HOPE NOT...

nice loco would like to see it on a outside track with a big line of cars.

i have a large loco with a bunch of the Lionel steel lumber cars (2011 i think or 211) like 20 of them that on my mail line. Had no digital camera back then. but with all my trains running at the same time the house sounded like a real train was coming.drove my wife nuts.

That is neat Pitchy
