It was my 3rd attempt before I got it going. First time, the R/C packed up due to oil in the connectors (god knows how that got there!), then the gas froze up and refused to light, so warmed it up in the workshop, then took it back out, and the rubber on the top up failed.
So I finally fixed it, and it got going. I loaded a 40 axle train behind it, and decided to load the wagons up with granite chippings to make the loco work hard. But it was getting dark by the time she was up to pressure! But some nice atmospheric photos:
Ready to go.
In platform 1 at Bar Road Station.
Steaming into Helford.
Around St Anothony's curve.
I like that photo.
About to hit the 1 in 50, so working hard.
Levelling off to Maenporth.
And towards the docks.
