[@ScratchGlass9]

Great ride... I think its the fastest I've seen ! Applause from Detroit

[@robertsowden1454]

Brilliant, trying to save for a little locomotive my self but something like that is too hard

[@mattseymour8637]

Thats a mint B1 model, i always think they look great in apple green but i know not their original colour

[@af757]

[@percomotion]

Great video mate where was this filmed at has it looks a great place to visit. Kev

[@minituretrain]

percomotion This is the Grimsby And Cleethorpes Model Engineering Society. Based on the Waltham Windmill site in Waltham, Grimsby. Website -- www.gcmes.org.uk. Check out my channel for more videos at this club, more videos to come soon.

Good video. It certainly steams freely with the minimal amount of coal and water. (Or is that just good editing? ;-)

[@GBRailways]

No, that's not good editing - only requires a couple or three shovels of coal per 2 laps of the track. It is very free steaming.

[@mattseymour8637]

@@GBRailways that's good stuff! What coal do you use?

[@GBRailways]

@@mattseymour8637 Start off with some welsh steam coal that the club acquired and then onto a mix of anthracite and steam coal whilst it gets really going. Running I use anthracite..

[@mattseymour8637]

Beautiful loco. What coal are you using?

[@GBRailways]

Mainly anthracite - usually start up with wood soaked in paraffin, then some ordinary coal, as anthracite takes a little longer to get going, but when it does it's good.

[@mattseymour8637]

@@GBRailways cool . What coal do you start with?

[@GBRailways]

@@mattseymour8637 Just ordinary household coal from coal merchants.

[@mattseymour8637]

Thanks will try that. How long do I start with the house coal before going to the other coal?

[@mattseymour8637]

@@GBRailways will try that is the Columbian coal good?

[@JasonMasters]

Wheeee! Speed limit? What's that? Is that when a junkie can't afford his next hit? ;) I hope this wasn't sped up on playback? It was a fun video anyway.

[@GBRailways]

Hi Jason. Nope - this was as filmed - speed equivalent of around 75-80 mph in full size real life!

[@chakapitchou4458]

How much would cost this loco ?

[@minituretrain]

chaka pitchou Cost always depends on the quality of the build, these locomotives are handbuilt from castings and solid materials. An engine to this standard would be in the region of £7000+
