Hi running well. Maybe show your colleagues this forum and the real life loco

Certainly seeing you pass time waiting for a shout is fun

Okay...

My two rides...

Enjoying the morning while the lads were in the grocery store. A lady said she thought I looked cool, and took some shots.

I'm the driver, so I snapped this one when my boys were taking a break after knocking down a house fire.

Looks good and to my mind maroon suited them until they became more and more dishevelled as time wore on.

*Whispering* I think they are the most handsome of the Hydraulics.

Taxi!

The lights stopped working and like a dummy I got frustrated and sold mine.

Graham Farish Ivatt 2MT Class 6409 and Graham Farish C Class SE& CR Green Lined.

First Impressions:

1 - Beautiful. They are both, but especially the C Class, gorgeous.

2 - They are light as a feather. Even my tiniest US Switcher is heavy in comparison.

3 - C Class ran wonderfully from the start. No hitches, glitches, weirdness for an hour on the test track.

The Ivatt 2MT was a little weird on the Kato track. On my Atlas track? No problems. Go figure.

4 - Pulling power. Kitten-weak, but that was expected. If They can handle 2-3 coaches or 4,5,6 milk wagons on Black Douglas Vale's 2% grades that'll be okay.

And another one, although a light service is required to get above a crawl (and my track needs a clean in fairness). D822 Sir Edward Elgar or something

Obviously having a flipping lie down, before anyone says anything...

Found 2 of these (last in shop) so snapped 'em up as I like 'em. I now have 5 but am seeking another 5 (ad on N'Porium)

Couldn't resist a Peco twinpack of BR grey liveried 4 wheeled bolster wagons and they arrived today

Bealman · June 30, 2026, 03:10:41 PM

My first thought was, where's the bits that stick up?

But you've answered that in the other thread

The UM was very well packaged yet came with the wire to the tender broke in two.

Luckily it was very fixable, even by me, and I had my life's first successful soldering, despite the amateur-looking result. Doesn't matter; no one else will know until my widow sells it.

I think for $300 US: DCC fitted UM Class b12/3, plus DCC fitted Dapol A4, plus six Dapol Gresley coaches plus the bonus track cleaner car was a good Ebay purchase.

Excellent Scott.

That B12 looks rather incongruous at the head of those wagons but hey ho - it's all about enjoyment.
She looks to be a lovely smooth runner.

Cheers
Martin.
