I'm always amazed at how powerful these engines are, and the weight they can pull. Such a lot of fun, but the drivers don't seem very happy 😂. Or is it all the concentration 🤔 ATB Julia. Cheers Nobby

It does showcase the power of steam 😃 Nobby. Running any miniature steam engine takes a lot of concentration. You are effectively doing two jobs at once driver and fireman. This is hard work on a smaller boiler like the 2.5" gauge locos as you don't have much thermal reserve. Personally I find it very tiring running them but it is brilliant to drive your very own loco ☺️
