[@naxshack]

Awesome run guys! Always great to see you two running trains together! 🚂😎

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

It’s definitely good fun. 🤩

[@Chessie-Steam-Special]

Wow, such a elegant locomotive! Brass dome and chimney rim!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

And sprung drivers too. A great engine.

[@davidwhite1864]

That was fantastic.Thanks for showing us your awesome engine Michael. I do remember the Silver Lady run across Scotland it passed not far from the end of our street.The whole town turned out to see it. I can still see all the Haggis chasing after it like tribes of Apaches in a western movie. Ah such memories🤣

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hahahahaha. So glad to have brought out such a good memory Dave! 😆👍👍👍

[@johnlazar7582]

Wow! Another sweet locomotive! You guys have awesome toys!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hahaha. John, John, John, have you not seen your amazing Lionel collection and HO collection. Lol. 😆 But I agree. We have awesome toys too.

Indeed! It’s always best with friends.

Ah yes, I do recall seeing that C4 programme, many yeas ago now. Nice run.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Steve. It was a great run. 😊☺️

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

Very nice. Ive looked, but haven't managed to see the full program of the journey across Scotland. I know Jack Strawbridge was the main host, who's a real character and has done a number of other shows. I am linked on Instagram with a guy who was involved in the mission. In fact, he might own the staring engine 🤔

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Just proves how tough these engines are. It had lots of mishaps.

[@Trainsaregreat365]

Nice video

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks! 😊

[@stevenj9414]

Great video Terry. The Silver Lady has sprung axles, sight glass, and water top off system. The Lady Anne is great but, having sprung axles is a big upgrade. I've only owned fixed frame RH engines. Anyhow it runs great. Any details on the two Mamod Brunnel sin the background?

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hi Steven! That Silver Lady really is a great engine. I do really like the sprung axels. My engines with sprung axels run well on uneven track. The springs add a lot to all-wheel adhesion.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

The Brunels are in the previous video. 😊

[@laaity]

Man i wish i had a model live steam locomotive But its almost impossible to get here Nevermind the price

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

One day Wihann. Like I keep saying. ☺️

[@laaity]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks If i had a laithe i could theoretically make one The biggest issue is the steam chest and everything in it I could easily soft solder a half decent boiler But making a steam chest is the problem

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@laaity there are plans online for fairly simple but good little engines, like the cricket.

[@laaity]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks problem again is those precise part The drill press i have can't drill anymore due to the motor being dead The drill i have is one from the 50s Its a hand drill Im old school lol And getting stuff made is expensive

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@laaity save over time for a good drill press and small lathe.

[@huntercoleman460]

How expensive are live steam engines Terry?

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

A lot. Lol. They are made by hand of course. 1500-3000 for a good one. Some beginner engines at around 800-1000.

[@gasmith841]

For a first live steamer I, and many others, would recommend an engine from Roundhouse's 'Basic' series. Relatively affordable, reliable, they last for ever, and plenty of options to customize to make it unique for you

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@gasmith841 indeed. I have a Bertie in 32 mm gauge and absolutely love it! I have “better” engines, but my Bertie always runs very well and never fails to make me smile.
