This is a great example of model engineering, I will certainly be waiting for my delivery. Well done ETC

My favourite KZbin video is “Two fives are better than one”, and that from a Southern man! I have a Hornby Black Five on my Southern layout, and it is a beautiful runner, so it gets a lot of work! Black Five on the Bournemouth Belle? Why not! Retired in S. Island, New Zealand.

Awesome and informative. Hi from NZ

WOW, love the 'keep-firing-or-it-will-stop' feature. I've been wanting that kind of thing for a long time. When I first gave a steam loco sound I automatically tried to simulate the steaming up process by first setting the sound volume to zero and then gradually over time increasing the volume of the hiss. I would normally do this over about an hour, every so often playing the coal shovelling sound and at the end play the valve escape sound (they never judged it right :). Only then would I make it move. The steaming up process would be a nice thing to do next, after all, the fact that you could not just jump in a steamer and off you go was one of its disadvantages that caused its demise. It felt a much more real experience when I represented that. Anyway, well done for including that 'keep firing' feature. I hope that if you do fail to keep the pressure up and it stops it is a realistic slow down stop and not a sudden toy-like stop 😃

I keep going back and forth on whether to buy one of these. They look amazing. Chris mentioned on the video that some are fitted with air brakes. Do you know which ones, please because the only reference I can find online is for 45212’s mainline working. Are any of the other models you have chosen (e.g. 45379) air brake fitted and would that restrict the coaching stock I could pair them with? (e.g. only Mk1s and not early Mk2s - as I’m thinking of creating a support coach for the loco to run with in preservation)?

Didn’t know a Black 5 has/had a chime whistle
