Nice machine River! I have no steamers yet, but perhaps i'll buy one once.

I see this one is not very heavy and it has many axles to spread weight. How is its pulling power?

Rinus, not particular spectacular, it pulls about 7 carriages up an incline and I suspected this but I have ordered an another axle with rubber tyres this should do the job.

just a quick update, the loco runs fine up an incline and I'm pleased the front and rear guide axle are providing power to the track and this gives it a good contact distance especially over turnouts. the loco runs very quite and another update will follow when I receive the extra axle with rubber tyres.

Hi,

Any chance of adding a Sound decoder?

not yet, I haven't done much with my locos lately but when I have some time I will investigate it, also the possibility of a sound decoder (there are existing locos with sound
