sncf231e Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) This afternoon I tried to re-enact in my garden a Race to the North in live steam gauge 1 with a Stirling Single and a Precedent class: As far as I know LNWR Hardwicke was indeed in this race but not Stirling Single No 1 but another Stirling Single, But the locomotives run fast enough not to see the number Regards Fred Edited June 23, 2019 by sncf231e typo 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian keane Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 lovely locos, Tony Bird has a gauge 1 steam Caley 123, you should meet up 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sncf231e Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 It looks like the Caley 123 is an 0 gauge model and not 1 gauge like the trains in my video. I recognise the 0 gauge coaches which are made by ACE. I have 2 of these: Regards Fred 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanchester Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Is it just me, but does the lazy stroke of that outside con-rod onto the eight foot driver just ooze the effortless superiority to which late Victorians must aspire? I can almost make out a thesis for the late revival of singles for express work being more a cultural statement than anything boring about steam sanding gear. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Jim Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure about bets, but will you be passing the West Coast train over to CR No. 90 for the run to Perth, followed by No. 17 for the victorious run on to Aberdeen on 22nd/23rd August 1895?

LNWR18901910 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 If it was a sort of relay race, then yes, I would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
