Slow and Noisy RWM STeam De Winton

[Chris Bird]

Hi folks
We often talk about the importance of slow running, but it is rare to see a loco perform quite like Roy Wood's De Winton did on Tuesday. Not only was it slow, with a heavy load, but the sound was astonishing - even to me!

The train was running as 7/8ths" scale and load in question was a rake of eight ex works general purpose wagons, built to carry timber, stone slabs etc. on the Summerlands Light Railway.

You can see the video here:

and I will post a link to the wagon story (so far) over on the Rolling Stock forum

Cheers
Chris

The speed and sound is amazing on that. Love the flatcars. Going to make up a few for my Cricket.

Thanks Shawn - and yes they would be perfect for your Cricket. And a reason for another vid of your superb railway

One of the best videos that I have seen in a long while. The slow running is superb, as is the Summerlands Chuffer sound. The wagons provide the final touch. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words Casey - I must say that I am a total convert to this loco. I just love it!
