I read about that in G1MRA magazine, it looks excellent and will last for years. I live in Greensboro NC but am from Farnborough UK and remember 4MT tanks and Bulleid pacifics.... There is no community hobby scene in the US like you have in the UK, everybody is too far apart. I have a playlist entitled "Gauge 1 in Greensboro".

Thanks for the comments on the Track the Idea came from seeing many Railways in the US made with decking as i should think it can stand up to changing weather pattens better, we have had nothing but Rain - Snow - Rain here as i type this another damp day !

By the way, that clicky noise the loco makes is from the axle pump linkage. Because the pump axis does not point at the centre of the driving axle, there is a bell crank with three extra pivots resulting in much free play and an annoying unloco like noise. I'm considering making a replacement drive using miniature ball bearings. Otherwise, the loco, made, I think by G1MoCo, runs very well and having no tender is my go to loco when I want a quick run.

I noticed i have the same noise on my G1MoCo Rebuilt Merchant Navy must be a design fault , the pump stopped working last year so i changed all the Balls for new stainless ones , the old ones was a odd shape that did not help with the pumps performance , i also changed a couple of washers that was leaking , i still like the loco very powerfull with a loud Bark from the Blast pipe

This is a very nice track and handsome loco. Don't ever be perturbed by a locomotive's idiosyncratic performance. Even full-size locos had their idyiosyncratic behavior and noises. That's the charm of steam locomotives.
