Must be so satisfying for you to see your beautiful locomotives moving over the superb point work/track. 

Thank you for giving me the chance to witness it as well.

Thank you Phil. I still need to fully test all the newly wired point-work with a variety of different locos. The 0-6-0s are fine but I need to test others with a longer wheel base with bogies and/or pony trucks.

I have quietly followed your progress here and it has been well worth it.

 

As Mallard states, it is good to see some video footage too which brings it all to life.

 

Congratulations also on your MRJ article which was a most enjoyable and well written piece.

Thank you Grahame for your kind comments and I'm glad you enjoyed the article in MRJ.

Robin,

It all looks very good and the 3F negotiates the point work very smoothly. As you say, locos with truck and bogies present a more searching test (of track and machine). I very nearly made an earlier response along similar lines, thinking of the potential for mishaps when I finally get around to trying some of my stuff, none of which are 0-6-0's, as you well know, on your magnificent opus. You'll probably have it all wired up and tested before I'm fit to drive again!

Dave.

I came across your blog at random during a search and I was so impressed by what I saw that I've just finished reading the entire thing from beginning to end. WOW! Don't know what else to say...
