Time for Tinplate at Brambleton 17th April 2021

Although describing the ACE Brit as tinplate is a bit of an insult!
Outside again at last, even if only in small groups. Trying out some of our latest battery sound steam locos.
The sound in the 'Brit' and the Jubilee are Paul Chetter projects on a Zimo DCC decoder, in the Princess is MyLocoSound. All the radio gear is Fosworks.

Thanks! Such a relief to get outside with the trains again!

[@CHELAGASA]

Love that chime whistle 😊

[@fildowns]

That sound project has 4 great whistles but I think I only used two in the video. Never get tired of that long one! 😂

[@fildowns]

Yes ACE Trains are great value and very robust locos. The Brit and Jubilee are ACE, the blue Princess is Bassett Lowke (Corgi).

Did you have to change the wheelsets to finescale on the coaches to run on that track?

[@fildowns]

No in fact we actually changed them from fine-scale to coarse to keep them on the track! The MTH coaches are good value but they have very little in the way of compensation and they were constantly getting derailed on track that wasn't perfectly flat. These wheelsets are actually designed for SM32.
