Semi-scale BR: large locomotives (again)

The recently-built locos get another run, having swapped rolling stock, so to speak (from previous videos). And the charity shop item just has to feature, obviously. Noisy music and train noises added, of course — but they glide quite gracefully in silent mode too (Philipy!), I like to think.

Great video.... all of your locomotives are super, but the Garratt is something extra special.

You sure have a beautiful railway and garden. Always good to see that Garratt working. And the two rakes of passenger cars make my mouth water.

I've viewed it several times and can't spot it.

On a larger, brighter screen (not my phone) I can make out that the first axle of the second ‘engine’ is skewed off the rails, at 1:04. I guess I ought to add more weight to all the leading / trailing axles.

Just catching up here - I save your video up for a quiet lunchtime treat! Your trains, railway and garden are all looking great - I don't think I'd noticed before how your "figure of 8" layout fits so nicely around the lawn.

"Take me to your Leader" amused me too...

Cheers,

Andrew.
