Makes a change from the Golf...

50 hp
8 Tonnes
Top speed of 25 mph
and very hard work!





Great fun though! Trainspotter me. :wink: :shock: Atleast I didn't have my famous dodgy anorak and sunglasses on… and yes, I am going grey at a rate of knots. I'll be the Philip Schofield of the mk1 scene soon!

Cheers,

Drew.

Nice Drew, although I'm not certain that model of train should have gold pin stripes, should they not be silver? also the wheel spokes are 2mm wider apart than they should be, no MFA…… :lol:  :wink:

…oddly enough, it did have an MFA of sorts (not OE though). A clever little digital speedo that was calibrated for 3x the scale, so you could tell how fast the real thing would be going. I managed to get up to 82 mph… 8)

And, you can wheelspin a steam train too! :shock:
