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  :hmmm:

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 ;D
