Simple 7/8ths

Hi folks
When I edited this video, it occurred to me that a Regner loco, a 7/8ths driver and a few scratch built wagons is a very simple way of trying out live steam 7/8ths scale. The loco does not even need to be modified and the wagons would also do for G scale at a push.....

You can see what I mean here:

Wow, that such a beautiful video. The filming and the garden match the train very well. Very nice atmosphere. And I love the mods you did to the Regner loco. It doesn't look like a toy any more.
 
I have thought about 7/8 for some time now. If I had the courage I would switch to that scale. I visit the 7/8 forum now and then. Those guys have some great models, most if not all are scotch built.
