What a venue , I can not believe what I am seeing. It is like those huge American railway turntable sheds with loco, s everywhere . I am not going to comment on individual loco,s as they are all stunning. Thank you to all involved in showing your skill and creativity. Thank you for sharing your work.

Very nice Mr Docking, I see there was a gnome wood, nice USA locs

[@norfolkrover]

Excellent video from numerous locations which is most entertaining. Also shows how hard the locos are working on the climb up to the gnomes👍 Hope to see you for your Halloween run🙂

[@TheModelav8r]

Thanks it was a great long weekend at Echills Wood. I shall look forward to going back for a mainline day. Hope you can make it for our Halloween run it’s always a good day.

You can see the inverse scaling rule here in the size difference between the standard and narrow gauge locos.

[@TheModelav8r]

Yes you certainly can. I personally prefer the narrow gauge locos . Every thing bigger and easier to drive as no bending down to operate the controls.

I genuinely wish I could buy that gorgeous 2-10-4 Burlington Route Colorado class locomotive from that fellow. I'd be kind of train mountain with that beautiful machine, after I convert her to propane of course.

[@EmilyChaosDrivr]

Which locos would you like to build in your life? My choices would be the Great Eastern Railway y14, s69 and c53 classes, as well as a 4-10-2 overland locomotive similar to the ones build by baldwin. (Designed by me of course).

[@stephensmith799]

The wonderful K36 486 is having an Intermediate at the moment but will be steaming in anger again early in the new year.

[@TheModelav8r]

Thanks for the information Steve. Did you get a Loco in the end?

[@stephensmith799]

@@TheModelav8r Hi there. Nice to hear from you. A Freudenstein 0-4-0 is coming week beginning Dec 12th. Very much looking forward to it! Thanks very much for your videos on raising steam, driving and disposal and on the dimensions you took for me. Appreciated.
