Wrekin and a Finescale load

Hi folks
I have been trying out my bogie well wagons again - this time in 16mm rather than 7/8ths scale. They are proving to be very stable so I entrusted my Finescale Quarry Hunslet to one of them on a very heavy train. My Accucraft Wrekin is scaring the local crows on this occasion and you will see just how slow one can go using the single channel radio control.
It is only three minutes and you can see it here:

Nice video Chris....
 
That was luvverly Chris - I even expected the two old fogies on the station to join the train !
 
Thanks for the kind words guys - you certainly make all the stress and premature ageing (that goes with single handed video making) worthwhile :D

And Don - if I had thought about it, they would have joined the train!
Cheers
Chris
 
Great visual and sound Chris. Are the two old fogies Busy Bodies?

Thanks George - and yes indeed, they are Busybodies, as are the driver, fireman and guard in the brake van (caboose!). I am a huge fan of Rob's figures:)
Cheers

Rob's BusyBodies are very nice. I would like to get some of them, especially the one of Tag G. But by the time they are delivered to the Colonies with postage, they are pretty pricey. I thought that there used to be a distributor in the States, but I heard they don't any more. I'll look around and see if we now have any distributors. Of course, they might even cost more from a disti than if I ordered direct. :)

Besides Tag, I should probably get a driver for my Caradoc and Lyn. Perhaps, a few others. I'll start saving. :)

George,
Have a look at
scalehumans.com
He's on your side of the USA and does exquisite sculpting.
Nothing like busybodies of course, but worth a look.
The figures do have to be painted, and I've not yet done mine.
 
Thanks, Rob. I'll take a look. Painting could be a problem for me though. Perhaps, I could convince SWMBO to paint them. I would still like to get one or two of our famous GR editor Tag, however, from BB.
