My Eagle pulling its first train. The run went well but I think the gas tank needs its own water bath as it started to ice up after a few minutes running. I may also adjust the safety valves to blow off at about 40psi rather than 80 as the regulator is a bit "all or nothing" at higher pressures and the loco pulls well even at 10psi :)

Very nice Dave and looks good in green ( the other one I know of is blue!) :-)
Did you build the engine yourself?

Doesn't look "all or nothing" to me Dave. Very sedate and suitable for a goods train. Very nice.

Thanks Ian, No I didn't build it myself, I got it from Station Road Steam in basically run-able condition but the fitted gas burner was pretty poor so I fitted a new one. I also fitted a new smaller lubricator so the front bogie would swing enough to go round my curves :)

Thanks Mike. In the video its only running at about 10psi. At 80psi it takes off like a rocket. Probably needs another 30 wagons at that pressure!! :)
