No.3 'Tinkerbell' visits Coate Water Miniature Railway

[MMODoubter]

I am surprised there is no brush attachment to clear leaves off the tracks. Does the train run during the winter? I assume not.

wot gauge is dat

[Firrboxfryup]

@MegaJake619 7 1/4 inch, although the track is dual gauge, it is also 5 inch.

Great vid 5* but i did get a tink up an average grade of about 1 : 35 at Comrie with 16 on!!!

Is that a marine boiler or loco boiler?

Thanks

@SteamLocomotives1994 Hi, it's got a Locomotive Boiler. The that day conditions were pretty bad, very wet and leaves on the line and so on...

@Firrboxfryup Hi again, yeah i saw that it did from part 2, i understand that the conditions were bad and can see why it was struggling for traction but the 0 4 2 arrangement is bad enough but to have anther pohney truck on the front to take yet more wait off the driving wheels makes it worse.

@Firrboxfryup Hi again, just a question, is that Primrose or Lady Bird or what ever the name of that loco is that you are sat in?

Ben

[Firrboxfryup]

@SteamLocomotives1994 It is Ladybird.

Oh yes, that's what happens when you get alot of wheel slip, but she still got up that 1 in 58 without stalling!
