Good Morning George!

Looks really nice, especially in black..... and I like the new regulator, too.
Are the cylinders still the same style as from it´s predecessors?

I´m asking because I want to run such locos manual and getting an impression on it´s behaviour would be more than greeat.

kind regards
Klaus

A very nice loco indeed and I totally agree - the black suits it perfectly

 

[Sea Lion]

Just to confirm the cylinders, indeed everything under the footplate, are/is the same as Edrig and Caradoc. So yes, nicely controllable at various speeds over a wide range of boiler pressures.

I am very taken with this in Black, and can imagine it with BR lining (if anyone has photoshop and some spare time?). Maybe we can come up with some justification for an internal NG line at one of the main workshops absorbed into BR?

Congratulations to George for having a "good eye" when choosing what to buy.

Happy steamings,

John

Looks nice George.I got it in blue.Pic's when I get me safety valve back from the Milton Locomotive Works.

 

[Elmtree Line]

Looks a great loco George, maybe just a little on the small side for my line or i'd snap one up

 

[stockers]

Nice one George - good to hear from you. You leave those girls alone and concentrate on trains.

 

[corgi]

Another nice Accy, thanks for the pics.

It looked very good double heading.

ragleth now has BR transfers

While I really love open cab early UK steam locos, the Edrig in my mind never really looked 100% right.

Honestly I think it was a bit "too big" to be an open cab UK steam loco, but I really like the Ragleth. I am willing to bet it will be a strong seller for Accucraft UK.

Like it even more....

(Refer to my earlier post!)

 

[Sea Lion]

That looks most splendid George, you have good taste.

I'm thinking perhaps no to lining, just add some oil cans, tool box, and fire irons etc?

Oh, and don't forget a driver!

Happy steamings,

John
