Running in using IPA

[emjaybee]

I've read a lot of advice on the use of IPA on track.

I decided to do a bit of running in of some of the locos I've accumulated on my test track. They seemed a little jerky to start with so I broke out the IPA. It's amazing, although I am on my third bottle, I'm not sure they're running any smoother, but I find I'm less bothered than I was!

I like the Class B's in the background, by the way.

The loco is obviously moving... looks like a Duchess?

No, it's not moving, that's the IPA!

Just kiddin'.

Well observed though, 'City of Bradford', it's been in a box for a while, picked it up from an online retailer for £90 last year. It pulls the Class B's lovely.

You are absolutely right about the IPA although you do have a bit of catching up to do as you will see from my video below. I also find it makes the trains appear to be so much longer

You can always rely on John for some decent Pink Floyd and some decent IPA but his taste in multi coloured worms is a little iffy
