Last posting introduced the Roxey Mouldings 'Howard' 0-4-0 shunting/yard loco.

The Tenshodo SPUD had to be DCC converted, very easy with a slitting disc, a problem without !!

I needed to thoroughly test & run-in using my only spare decoder a Hornby R8249 that had been taken out

of something else, exactly why I can't recall. Here it is a speed faster than the original could go, but ideal for

my purpose. It will go down to a very slow speed and will probably be better for adjusting back EMF settings

on the Lenz sliver mini decoder on order for this job.

Video available here :-

Now I know how well it works it's time to take the decoder out again to start painting. Then while that drys I can

build up the cab where I've already painted the interiors prior to assembly.

So far I really like it, easy to make, runs well, and just what I wanted !!
