Beautiful locomotive model. Filled me full of nostalgia for my first Coronation cop at the tender age of 12 in Glasgow. The Polmadie locos were local heroes to the local spotters. Names like Princess Alice, Princess Alexandra, Duchesses of Atholl, Montrose and Buccleuch roll off the tongue, even now. The model even has the correct 66A shedplate on the smoke box door, amazing! Thanks so much for a very enjoyable "run". From Ken in Ayrshire.
@@ukmodelengineering Hi, its rather nice that the builder chose a British locomotive to build. As a fan of both German and British steam locomotives I wonder if the builder made other fine builds?I'd love to see something German to that build quality. RIP to the builder, he left a fine remembrance.
Derek I too saw 46222 In 1959 on the down Royal Scot powering through Roade,Northants.It was my first sighting of a Princess Coronation and I shall never forget it.
Hi Tim Spiers, you are not right :-) This is a full 4 cylinder locomotive built to the Jim Vass which have been scaled down from works drawings. Thanks for watching.
Even the Aster Gauge 1 Castle and Duchess have all 4 cylinders. Actually 4 of their models are full 4 cylinder compounds with true compound expansion so why wouldn't a 7 1/4" Duchess have all four cylinders? Lovely loco, more than a model!
@@984francis A good many large scale models of multi cylinder steam locos only have two cylinders. Normally for ease off modelling or maintenance. Sometimes it can be because four cylinders may be too powerful and lead to excessive slipping.
Dear LMS4767, my family and I have been watching your films with great interest and enthusiasm. You are promoting the hobby very well and its great for fellow enthusiasts such as myself to see whats going on in the UK with live steam, Well done you!. One question i have as a model engineer building a 7.25" Highlander, what is the best 7.25" track in the UK in your opinion?
@MLW thank you for your kind comment. That is a very difficult question, but two I enjoy visiting are Echills Wood Railway and Great Cockcrow Railway. Hope to see your Highlander running sometime in the future.
Gorgeous loco and the Supreme LMS loco. Love the super detailed prototypical backhead on the footplate just like the real thing !! Now either that line is too flat or that loco needs a train load of super fat guys on it cause this Duchess isn't working or even needing to try to work on that railway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁
