Hydraulic Heaven

Yep, still hoping to try and come to that for a short while...

 

Nice pics there Andy....although overseas stuff doesn't float my modelling boat, I am sure they are pretty impressive to watch...and after all...a train's a train, right?

I suspect that most of us tend to like the stuff that we've actually seen. Watching North American trains crawling uphill with a heavy train (and these things are looonnngg) is a very impressive sight (and sound).

 

I did manage to resist the temptation to invest in any further transatlantic N Scale material on this occasion though... although I have not always been quite so sensible and have a rather random assortment of US locos and stock in my posession. Still they were my first intro to RTR locos engineered with pinpoint pickups and big flywheels - happily something that has now caught on on our side of the pond.

It's a shame that you didn't stick around until the Saturday, there was some steam on the line in Waterloo! (not London)
