@hythekent Thank you so much. I have been doing some repairs because of damage caused by heat. I want to alter the nearside track too as the bend is too tight and there is a nasty dip just before the bridge.
Who doesn't love City of Truro and it's sisters. I saw the real thing on an excursion train double headed with Midland Compound No. 1000 when I was about 12 years old. The memory has stuck with me clear and sharp. For my own model I opted for the short lived number of 3717 applied in 1912. Your two look marvelous with period coaches although I'm beginning to be concerned about the undulations in your track Michael.
@trainsontuesday haha I commented on it earlier to someone else. I built on foam for the first time because I needed the river and and the heat really damaged the track and a noise cancelling trackedbed I tried for the first and last time. The tackled lifted off the glue. I have repaired the cracks and I will lift some track and replace some points. You learn as you go along David. I am planning on trying new techniques on my next layout, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!
@@modelrailwaynoob Firm foundation Michael, I can walk around on my benchwork even walking on the track and turnouts (points.) Leave the foamy stuff for scenery.
Not if you let both engines run full circuit all the way round for a lap. The music is already being used for Tiny Kitten videos, but no matter. I've got City of Truro in my collection, my beloved steamy daughter. She shares the no. 1 spot in my heart with my one true love, 7822 Foxcote Manor.
Hi Kellly, It is just a 6ft up and down layout. City of Truro is very sought after and therefore expensive. What a great loco to have. I do love these locomotives.
