  • Scratch, 4th Steam Test, Where Does Time Go!!
    First Steam Test was Summer 2021 after a couple of years scratch building my first Steam Locomotive. A Metre Maid a 0-6-2 version of a 0-4-2 Sweet Pea Locomotive designed by Jack Buckler back in the 1970's, You never see 2 of these hundreds that were built and still being built, exactly the same.
    Great for beginners, intermediate and advanced Locomotive builders.

    Good idea getting to the club early morning, very peaceful. It's a shame you didn't include some whistle action in this video Kev as your homemade whistle sounds brilliant!

      @MrFactotum  2 месяца назад +1

      Next time! Tom👍👍🚂🚂🚂
      Trouble is when your trying to juggle things around and help a friend with his loco which i have limited knowledge on. Then you get the tyre kickers coming round throwing comments in while your trying to concentrate. It's a nightmare sometimes
      Next time perhaps
      all the best👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂

    Nice early morning walk and a chance to hear the birds sing is always a good thing in my books. That's quite a track you have there Kev. What's the total length of it, looks like a lot of fun, great achievement on the loco a superb bit of kit

    Hi Kev, A great test run and you had the place for yourself for while too. The track is dual guage but what are the guages? Yours looked the narrower one I think.
    Really enjoyed watching. All the best!!
