I have the wallaby hawthorn Leslie. It was an engine that worked (and is preserved) in Australia, my homeland. Australian model steam engines a rare, affordable ones even rarer! Really enjoy the little thing, struggles with the points at my clubs layout, but it’s small, can’t really be helped. Very glad to have it

It's nice when you have something connecting you to a model.

Hi Rob, A nice video for a super model and having bought Henry with sound agree with all you say on my new end to end layout he does so well over all my standard Hornby points and maybe not happy on curved ones but hay an 0-4-0 we expect it to have trouble so this one is a revalation on what can be done helped by the movement on both axels for uneven track. I do think the layout you run him on does need to be good on mine droppers to every rail and points very clean track and wheels and why this model well I wanted a hoover on the layout!!! Cheers Robert.

I have this one, I love it, I want to see how the new Accurascale/hatrons Andrew Barclays compare (also on order) to decide if this is model of the year but it’s currently my front runner, mine also struggles on certain points which is slightly annoying seeing as I have a rather point heavy shunting puzzle but for its size it’s to be expected and currently on the loco out for a stay alive install

JohnJMC has told me that fitting a stay alive isn't too bad
