I wanted a Hornby 0-4-0 model so I bought the Bagnall shunter. It's a nice loco and it runs very smoothly. But, it's way oversized isn't it? If I measure the height of a door I get 28.5 mm. That multiplied by 76 gives me about 2.17 m!
Does anyone know the real dimensions of the Bagnall 0-4-0DH? Here's a picture of the real thing https://www.flickr.com/photos/45563292@N02/6274647949
The real 'Bagnall' a.k.a 'Leys' seems to be located at the Foxfield Railway.
Cheers from Sweden,

I use the Gaugemaster HH (feedback controller). It gives you very smooth and realistic start/stops. Much better than the Gaugemaster W controller. I feed it with 12 V AC instead of the recommended 16 V AC.
Then I get much better control in my opinion.
Here are two of my YouTube videos showing two older locos using the HH controller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZpugK59Rdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ncuQzX9wI4

Here's a short video with closeups of my Hornby Railroad 'Adderley Hall'

I think it's a great value Railroad model
A Trax feedback controller was used.
(I'm sorry about the dust and cat hair and the slightly misaligned valve gear. All fixed after the video was shot )
