These are terrific locos. The included coaching stock, too. I'm using Menai in free-lanced preservation scenarios is it has vac braking, which I think is required for any kind of passenger work. The weathered black is especially well done, as much as any VW, CW, DT or other "major" builders. I hope we'll get to see some of the other locos posted on the Discord server, as they also seem extremely well done. Many thanks.
Thanks as always for reviewing! Couple points to clear some things up: - Menai is pronounced "Men-aye", Aldwyth is pronounced "Alld-with", and Mawddwy is pronounced "Maoo-thee" - Dexterity's livery is not based on any particular livery, I just wanted to challenge myself to make something as lined out as possible. - The 2-4-0 condition was something that has been recorded to happen on several light railways (not just on Wardles). In order to cope with bad trackwork and provide a more stable ride, the front siderod was taken off to minimize mechanical jumping around the front of the loco, where it's particularly light. - The injector works on steam as usual, but the crosshead pump only starts to work over about 8-11mph, as only then enough vacuum is created to suck the water into the system. (I think the steam valve not being draggable is an oversight? But it would be a lot of tedious work to go back and fix it now...)
Hi yeah, it's brilliant a much better upgrade from your last version of the K, ah I wondered why there was some rods missing, thanks for telling me 😁 all in all another fantastic loco for anyone's collection 😁 I do enjoy both reviewing and driving your hard work, as always can't wait to see what else your going to make 😁
Yeah Mawddwy is difficult. 'Maw' is like "Mao", the 'dd' part is basically like a 'th' sound and the 'y' in "wy" sounds similar to how the 'i' is pronounced in "win". Welsh is hard, even for me who's learnt it in school and grown up in Wales
@@thesouthernlad30541 You find out that there are a lot of words that either didn't get translated, or just had an extra letter added. Like "Lift" is just "Lifft" 😂

They are fantastic addons and unfortunately most of the ones we see on Discord are I think a "between" mates sort of deal or payware
