Superb video, it is an excellent talk through of what is clearly a very well made model. Part 2 will add more detail to this enterprise, I understand thanks are due to Sue for this opportunity.
I would say it is quite well made but there are errors with it and it has that ‘made in China’ feel about it. I compared it directly to the Accucraft Victory and find this loco to be far superior in build quality. That said I do also like the M7 very much it just isn’t as well built and doesn’t run nearly as well as the Victory
Hi Pete, great video. Please May I ask, how much water in ml did you put in specifically and also what did you use to fill up the boiler using the enots valve? I have an M7 and am still perfecting the correct ml amount of water and the tubing I use for my regular water top up bottle doesn’t fit
Hi Dan, At present I do not know the volume of water in millimetres required to fill the boiler to a correct steaming volume. My boiler came with water in it, so I just topped it up to show 2/3rds full in the water level gauge, and have done so ever since. To fill the boiler I remove the Goodall valve from the back of the boiler and use a syringe until 2/3rds is reached in the sight glass then replace the Goodall valve. I agree that the hole in the Goodall valve is not quite right. I drilled a counter sink in the top of the Goodall valve so my plastic filler pipe would go in more easily. I also removed some silicon rubber from the one way valve inside the Goodall vale so it was less tight and would pass water into the boiler more easily.
@@peterspoerer1 lovely thank you Pete I did the same. My water top up bottle fits now and the tubing on the valve is now not as tight. I find ultimately it still isn’t as good as topping it up with a syringe so I think I will stick to this method. Thank you for your help

Welcome back Peter! Such an excellent video
It’s been a while hasn’t it? Good to see you’re back Peter!
Thank you. I had trouble up loading issues!
why is there no superelevation on the curves? a flat curve looks very unrealistic.
Super elevation is a total waste of time in Gauge 1 and leads to derailments.

I regret I do not measure the amount of water I put in for a run. I just fill the water gauge to 2/3rd full
Aren't you the lucky one - mine can only pull one coach and expires before it's managed a single circuit of the track.
