Nice review of a cracking model. However, I must respectfully point out that the Double Fairlie is another of those locomotives that has outside cylinders with inside valve gear. The valve gear on the prototype is located out of sight, between the frames. It is not represented on this model.
An awesome little loco, however very much out of my price range since it's more expensive than my 7mm class 08. Also I see you're still running them wrong-line for the Ffesty, since they use right hand running...
One of the first Double Fairlie locos was named Janus after the Roman God with two heads facing in opposite directions. That's where we get the name for January from as it's looking back to the old year and looking forward to the new year.
That's Mighty Mac from Thomas and friends!
I wish Bachmann would hurry up and make Mighty Mac
Literally just finished reading the article, and magazine as a whole, great video...now to decide where a narrow gauge layout can go
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff!
Double Fairly also used in New Zealand. There is one called "Josephine" in the museum in Dunedin NZ
Great little loco’s, look good running on that layout too 🙂
I am so excited for this!
This Video got me inspired to do my own , I just love it
The engine's look brilliant and the layout isn't bad either lol thankyou for the video
Looks very nice, I am curious though about how much it weighs.
A superb model in every respect, mine looks superb running on my layout. How about a WHR Beyer-Garratt next (Ex South African)
Beautiful!
nice looking layout. If you want more inspiration there are many films of the Ffestiniog and other narrow gauge railways on my channel.

So, 009 gauge is equivalent to N scale?
This poor engine doesn't know whether it's coming or going. I wish I could buy everything you make.
The Pushmi-Pullyu among steam locomotives!
