Sorts out my never ending issues with the same thing. Cheers, Weave!

A new arrival at Elmsbridge Central. The fineness of the livery on no. 4791 is astounding!

Love it! Apple green and teak, my favourite colour scheme.

Cheers,

Chris

How one moves the phone between portrait and landscape matters. If the phone is lying flat when the camera app is opened, it will default to portrait. It is then possible to pick the phone up and rotate it toward landscape without the device registering the change, particularly when the subject lies below the photographer. If one first holds the phone vertically true before rotating, the sensors gain a clear sense of which way is 'up', and the orientation switches reliably.

Graham Farish Class 20/0 London.

She's beautiful! She runs very nicely. Great detail.

She's geared much differently than the Atlas She's sharing track with.

She doesn't fit my future setting. Don't care! Wealthy eccentric Old Man Douglas likes buying unique locos for his quaint rural community.

A very smart looking loco. It looks like she is capable of a scaled up speed of 150 mph which would be a lot faster than that for your Atlas switcher locomotive.

Yeah, the controller runs hot.    I need to swap it out.

Beautiful smart loco. Its London Transport liveried 20142. Private owned. My only concern is not giving runs at that speed. Only my thoughts .  Run mine at a slow medium speed ensuring gears settle and motors are not becoming hot


Here is the real loco
.


I took the photo of the real life loco working a treble headed charter



Looks very different and I agree with Webbo.  I primarily run my 20s on coal and steel trains as how i remember but they do haul chemicals and in the real world appeared on Summer Saturday seaside trips and Sunday excursions ir dragging AC electrics when there was engineering work / maintenance on the overhead lines requiring power to be off

Thanks!  Oh, look at that. It's the real thing. Very cool.

That was a very short run just for the video. A proper run-in will take place on my Kato track.

Great photo!! It's simply a gorgeous loco.
