A trip back in time...

As well as trying out the new 1980s era rolling stock I also ran my 599.xx 0-8-0WT freight locomotive with a short mixed goods train, typical of the late 1950s on the EJ&KLR.


It was lovely to see a complete train of rolling stock repainted and detailed by me, all in a coherant family style. The LGB Rugens based locomotive ran well on the new Helmsman controller, which was a winter purchase, and runs as well as my other steam engines now - the starter set controller just didn't have the uuumph or finesse to satisfactorily control such a long wheel based locomotive on my restrictive R2 curves (at the apex).
