Countess on the new layout

[artfull dodger]

Fired up and tried my Pearse Countess on my new little layout. Obviously pulling the long pickering coaches is out. So I hitched up my pair of brown Zillertalbahn coaches, a green LGB coach and my special Autism Awareness coach. I first ran light engine, proving she would go around the railway ok, if a bit skittish not having a load coupled on. Once pulling the coaches, Countess was able to smoothly run around the for the duration. I am doing the same with my friends Earl now. Had to sort out some timing issues after changing some worn out side rods. Mike
