Accucraft Bigboy First run

Short mobile phone video of the first run of an Accucraft Bigboy.
Sorry for the poor quality but thought the haulage test would be of interest.

That was impressive, never seen a live steam locomotive pull that many cars

[@GRAHAM1514]

[@ronniescott5179]

Miniature engineering at its best. What plans have you for this superb model.

[@Gauge1ModelCompany]

Good question Bram. I didn't film it on the GoPro as usual but on my phone. May be something to do with that?

[@ErnieNoa3]

Simply amazong !!! :-)

[@frankmmiii]

Simply Beautiful! I want one after seeing yours run. What is the run time on a full tank? Does the butane run out before the boiler does?Thank You for sharing your video.Frank M.

[@Gauge1ModelCompany]

Hi Frank. The run on a full tank is about an hour or just over. The boiler is large but the loco is equipped with an axle pump and hand pump in the tender so there is no issue with water running out. Glad you enjoyed it.Stuart

What a beast!

[@MrBramMoos]

Stunning video Stuart, but why is it only in 480 and not in 1080? Bram

[@PotholesInMyLawn]

How much weight was that pulling? Wow

[@Gauge1ModelCompany]

PotholesInMyLawn Not sure what it weighed but it’s pulled a lot more since then.

Amazing

[@BattleshipOrion]

As a reference ween useing us trains it is called cars not wagons

[@Gauge1ModelCompany]

Thanks for that, but these are British Wagons despite the American Loco, see our other videos for it hauling Streamline UP Cars or Boxcars and Reefers.

[@bluefoxy6478]

Are you going to ever get some american freight cars? Cause it just doesn't look right to see a american steam locomotive, pulling British wagons.

[@Gauge1ModelCompany]

Hi, yes we now have 36 freight cars and passenger cars see other videos this was a spur of the moment thing just to see what it would pull

[@bluefoxy6478]

@@Gauge1ModelCompanyoh ok.
