Warren Mumpower said:A million thanks, Warren - you are a star!!! The Garratt on the outside track is mine, the one on the inside belongs to our host Trevor, who kindly opens his extensive G1 to G3 track to the poor once a month, thus assuring himself of a place in heaven.

This was one of the longest runs I have managed with this loco - 58 minutes topping up just once for everything and it ran like a watch…
The cars are heavy laden and weigh about 35 pounds or so for the whole consist, so it had a real load to work on producing a great pleam of stume.
Needless to say, there is a LOT more video clips with some good run-bys as well as pacing shots, including Trevor’s new Accucraft Daylight [gas-fired, and runs like a dream] and Trevor’s new Aster Berkshire, as well as Trevor’s new Accucraft mogul…[sigh]
Anyhow, the Garratt and my three-cylinder Shay performed pretty well as far as I’m concerned, and if Warren is willing to help out with the video posting, I’ll send him a couple of other clips of them and the other stuff including a really neat Roundhouse Forney.
Best to all
