- There was a full program of 7mm live steam running from my open day in July 2021. Rafe opened the running with his as yet unpainted B6 making light work of twelve bogies. Trevor's Royal Scot took over the train and had a magnificent run. Graham's Excalibur started the running on the inner circuit at the head of a train of 6 Pullman coaches. In the meantime Jack was driving a Q5 to marshal a train of NER hopper wagons and the run on the outer circuit. John took over hauling the hoppers with his B16. With Rafe's B4 now pulling the Pullmans, there are several passing shots contrasting freight and luxury passenger. Richard Black 5 ran on the inner circuit hauling a train of Blue and Grey MK1 coaches. Th Pullmans returned to the inner circuit hauled by Andrew's Battle of Britain. Having had the hoppers hauled by two NER engines, Rafe showed how the GCR could handle them with his O5. I ran my GNR Atlantic on the outer circuit pulling a rake of Blue and Grey MK1s. The day was rounded off with John driving his coal fired GNR Atlantic at the head of the Pullmans and my Q6 pulling the hoppers.
The video ends with Harris inspecting the track before the open day.
Looking back at the day I'm particularly pleased at the number of passing shots. Its great seeing two trains snake past each other.
It was a blustery day so the sound quality is not perfect.

My goodness those little dragons go well, and the track-work is superb!
Thanks. Its amazing how much power can be generated by burning a relatively small amount of meths. The track is as a result of many years work so it is good to see it well used.
Excellent! 👏😏
Brilliant as usual Dave!
Dave, another fantastic video. I would like too know more about the radio control units used my the guy's in your video?.
Of the live steamers, only the Battle of Britain is radio controlled. The other live steamers are manual control. There were a couple of battery powered radio controlled locos (J72 and Class 37 from memory) which are a convenient way to marshal stock. Fosworks OMNI controllers provide an excellent range suitable for live steam as well as battery. He even supplies one which can be bound to and control up to 10 locos! My class 37 uses an OMNI 2.1. I've also got a OMNI 3.1 for a live steamer in development with one servo control for regulator and the other for the blower.
@@DrDave_63395 the battle of Britain has a fosworks system, driving the regulator and whistle valve.
Dave, a big thank you for the information.
Это работает на пару,или от электросети? Просто super!!!
These are steam powered. Mainly meths (alcohol)
can you get Live Steam 7mm tank engines?
EBay often has single cylinder Burton Leech locomotives for sale. These are a 0-6-0 tank loco with Smithies boiler.
