Clan Line restarts from signal-stop

Clan Line at the Spinney Light Railway, restarting from Baytree signal number 1, with only a little wheel-slip (3 carriages is more than usual for this steeply graded railway)!

what gauge is this?

[adnalm]

7¼" (184mm) gauge.

not quite as good as a gwr hall hanging 13 semi loaded aristocraft coaches! plenty of wheelslip aswell :D

[adnalm]

Aristocrafts are much more freely running than these Cromer-Whites; and what gradient does your gwr hall pull away from with 13 on?

What a fine loco, I know Bulleid hated the re-builds but I think this would please him. I thought it was a well-judged start too.

[JimTLonW6]

Pretty impressive performance!

[steamisgod]

I agree, Aristocraft coaches weigh nothing and aluminium rail is slippery.

[SteffanLlwyd]

More sure footed than a full-scale one!

hahaha, got a proper bullied start, even in the minature versions.
