Bashing a Bachmann Annie 4-6-0 into an 1860s 4-4-0 (the movie)

[robsmorgan]

I know it's been a long time (since November last year) - we all have a few distractions, but I hope it was worth the wait for anyone interested. I haven't managed to get the sound and smoke fully installed yet, but will keep at it. Anyway I'm happy that I managed to get a reasonable look-a-like to my favourite historic US locos, the General & Texas, working

Thanks Jon, I have really enjoyed working on this project, still won't be happy until I've sorted a pulsed smoke unit in this much smaller boiler...... but I have a few ideas

Darned special that loco. A great bash and a lovely vid of a sweet line.

Thanks BC, It's OK as long as you don't look too closely... the boiler taper was originally the neck of a plastic Ribena bottle - but it hasn't deformed in the recent and unusual 20c plus temps we've enjoyed

Also let myself down by not fixing the car handrails properly before filming

Thanks again
Rob
