Roundhouse Bertie - Beginners' Guides

[Chris Bird]

Hi folks
This is a series of videos which are not really aimed at the experienced members of this group - but possibly some might find them useful. The Bertie in question is an as-new model that I bought from Simon Whenmouth at Exeter and I have to say that I am most impressed with it. Various enhancements are planned.........

The first film is for absolute beginners in steam, or those who fancy a Roundhouse Bertie:

As someone who has owned an identical Bertie for almost two years but has yet to run it the videos are very useful - Thanks.

Thanks guys - and Chris, it is a great little loco - well worth a run!
Cheers
Chris

Yes indeed - though a bit far from Weymouth!
I have just fitted radio control to Bertie's regulator with all the kit in the loco cab. I am sure many have done this before me, but I have attached a photo of the underside of the cab roof and there are some notes here:

YOU WILL be admonished by the GESTAPO for not running the loco
Chris: That's a darn good layout photo. Should help converters.

Bertie Fest isn't too far from me though
