Looks like fun. Nice models! Day 2 looks a little chilly but there was plenty of warm steam in the air.

Nice videos Tony. That little gauge one tram can really pull it weight! Thanks for posting.

Hi,

That little gauge one tram can really pull it weight!

Yes, it has a very free steaming gas fired boiler with its safety valve set for 25psi, and it is powered by a double acting single cylinder oscillating engine with a 19mm stroke, 9mm bore (about 3/4"x 3/8"in old money) engine, geared 4.33:1 to the axles. It is built to 7/8" scale and runs on '0'gauge track and has turned out far more powerful than expected.

Take care Tony.
