| | Scale Model Builder | Thanks for your kind remarks lads.
Speed was just a little below scale but I was running on low heat as it was her first outing. I'll turn the wick up next time and go for broke. Duration was a little over 15 mins but with more heat that will obviously drop, if I can get ten minutes for a single run I'll be happy. | |

very inspirational m8 | No problem Adamz - total cost is about £350 including radio. Half of that is in the engine and boiler. | |
