Here is an update on my experience with the haulage capabilities of my new GNR Stirling single received today
I ran in the loco for an hour on DC then fitted a DCC Decoder As I have a couple of ramps on my layout I was concerned with the locos abilitity to climb the grades. I had been disappointed with my Hornby SECR H that struggled in lifting my 3 coach SECR birdcage stock on the ramp. With the Stirling single I need not have worried as it took a load of four LNER suburban teak coaches without any hesitation or slippage up the ramp.

I noticed a speaker seems to have been fitted in the tender I think I may fit a sound chip. Any idea who supplies the Stirling single DCC sound chips in the UK?.
