First one of those I've seen that someone has actually bought! How does it run?

The Cheddar ones certainly are- I know Chris Bird (Mr Summerlands Chuffer) has done a lot of work to his to try and tame it a bit! That's why I asked how this one ran- I'm glad you like it!

Why they didn't reintroduce "Riesa" or "Samson" I have no idea; Riesa has to be the nicest 16mm engine to drive I've come across, they are brilliant bits of engineering.

Welcome back Oily Rag, as expensive as they are it does look as though Stuart have done a top job on the Iver.

I was thinking of buying an iver from cheddar models... I think its a shame they were bought out too. I can speak from experience the Samson is one of the most powerful locos I have ever seen...

I love the Cheddar Hercules :P

Anyway, welcome back Oily Rag! I thought you had given up completely from when you were selling lots of stuff on eBay etc!
How does the Iver handle your steep gradients and curves? You'll have to do a video! :D
