beautiful little engine, great purchase that I enjoyed watching . Wish I had a track so perhaps need to stick to my stationary engines and dioramas a while yet
Lovely little loco. Your layout is quite nice as well. Watching the first V-dump car bounce the lead axle was interesting despite the rock you added for ballast. But it didn't seem effect anything. Seems to be a good running loco straight from box
I wonder why they made it so wide, looks like the real loco/locos were only 5ft something wide, yet this model equates to about 6ft 3" wide? Hope the 0-6-0 Pecketts won't be wider than their real life counterparts, as I'm a volunteer at Bala and so have seen Triassic a few times
Peckett built Cranmores to different gauges and different widths. This one is a scale model of the one and only survivor of the class of 1926, preserved in Melbourne Australia. The Accucraft Website provides a history of this specific engine. It was chosen being the only Cranmore in existence and would not be compromised being a scale model of this later version. I would not expect to do the Jurassic is anything wider than 32mm. Its a very narrow loco.
Actually mostly made in Japan - all machined parts and bodywork is from Japan. Assembled, painted and lined in China. Designed in the UK, Auz and the US. You may not know it, but the entire bodywork, running boards and chassis frames are stainless steel, not brass.
at last got myself a track,started off as a test track but is rapidly turning into a small garden railway
I think that’s what happens to many people! Good luck with it!
@@jgwalker71 thanks , it is coming along
This is very cute! It is not a Peckett I am familiar with, being outside framed and shortened tank, but it certainly puffs along !

Yes, I noticed the bouncing car too. Maybe something with coupler height?
@@Jasper_4444 probably
Beautiful loco James.
Thanks - I think they've done a very good job!
Nice engine.
How did you attach the name plates?
A small dab of bathroom silicone sealant - should allow removal of the plates without damaging the paintwork
Thanks 👍
Cool

1:36. "Made in China". Is nothing sacred?

@@davidfletcher5591 And you, Sir, ought to know, as it was you who made the drawings on which the model is based from that actual locomotive.
