Thank you Peter quite some effort is put into these videos its always difficult to film and keep a eye on the loco at the same time thats why i only produce a new film on average once every 2 weeks takes me almost that to get over it ! your comments are always much appreciated , Take care Graham

She's a good steamer the valves were lifting all the time.Cracking little loco,very Welsh N/Gauge looking.How often do you fill up the water tanks on a run as long as that Graham?...Love that plant will look out for one of them when next at a G/Centre.......Regards Chris

@GRAHAM1514 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Chris , the side tanks are just dummys the water is pumped directly into the boiler with a garden type spray bottle as you saw when i was getting it ready, she only needs topping up about once every 15 minutes but of course as you know every loco is different thats what draws me to live steam ! Best Wishes Graham

Lovely loco and very interesting demo, thanks Graham. How long does a tank full of water last? Nice to see the bees around that exotic plant, even if no butterflies bothered to turn up. It's the first time I've registered that your station model is Highley and that prompts me to ask if you've had time to look at my Severn Valley Postcards videos? Kind regards, Bob

@GRAHAM1514 3 жыл бұрын

Many thanks Bob for your excellent comments and i am very sorry for the slow reply , I have looked at your Seven valley Postcards a lovely compilation on both videos , As far as my loco gos i normally stop it evey 15 minuites or so for a water top up , I love my Highly station just like the full size its a very pretty building , Kind Regards Graham

Great thanks. I am currently restoring a mamod steam locomotive that I bought from Hattons . It is in a poor state as it had been left out in the rain. It is a1939 to 1989 jubilee model. Boiler looks ok.
