What's not to like about that. Great looking, smooth running, and good sounding.
Looks like you hit the Trifecta Jim. Good going mate. 8)

Thanks Tommy, it is a very smooth engine and doesn't use much steam at all and its a real pleasure watching it run.

A really nice engine Jim , Cotswolds are a very fine engine & I've never had one that didn't run absolutely beautifully.

Great little runner Jim!  ;D

The Cirrus is a very nicely proportioned beam engine and can be run at a very nice scale speed.
