Very short video of my Holden Tank.   Not sure if this is going to work!

Edit - OK, it did work!  Take my word for it.  The sound in the video is not even half the volume that this thing was making.  Crank up your speakers for an appropriate effect.  Note also that this doesn't show the loco stalling on my insulfrog points.....

I managed to find (luck rather than judgement) two "spares/repair" Holden tanks on ebay and they've just arrived. My goodness, Grafar's engineering has come a long way since they were put together, hasn't it...?!  :worried:

Ah well, I shall enjoy getting them to bits to see if I can make a functioning chassis for the Pannier kit. If nothing else, this pair of poor old ladies look like they need a lot of TLC, and it'll be fun trying to get them back in working fettle.

And if they don't work, I can always use the wheels to slice pizza with....  :doh:

Or, serious rusting and weathering and park them at the end of a siding :-\
