Roundhouse 16mm live steam Darjeeling locomotive - first firing out of the box in glorious 4K!

This is our first 4K video for UA-cam. The Roundhouse 16mm class B Darjeeling loco arrived today and rather than test-steam her, Jordan and I thought we would just jump in feet first and set fire to her. And what a great result it was. She is a lovely super-detailed model and no doubt will be a fine workhorse. Please feel free to comment - and if you like the clip, like and subscribe too! Thanks for watching.
This video was shot in 4K on a Canon XC-10 with a Rode Video Mic-X and edited on Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud.

Thanks Mark, this is definitely on my wish list. I have visited Darjeeling a couple of times and was really taken by the little railway, it's an absolute marvel that these engines could pull loads up the incredible incline from the plains up to Darjeeling. I think Roundhouse have shown it the respect it deserves. I remember there was always someone sitting on the coal with a hammer breaking up the large pieces, and at least 1 person hoping on and off to operate the switches, heard cows off the track, and arguing with the traffic. Great memories. Oh, and if you're going to weather it, these engines look to have at least 20 years of soot over them, even though I think they hose them down daily. Just a reflection on the environment in which they serve. Beautiful engines and real work horses. Regards from New Zealand.

For anybody who is interested. There is a minature railway located in a small village in fairbourne wales near barmouth. The railway holds a very special place in my family's heart and they have this loco there. Her name is sherpa and she also has a tender too. Sorry for the shameless plug but families are welcome and so are furry friends too. They have other loco's there too its a fun time.

This is the first time I have seen or heard of a live steam model engine being remote controlled.. hmmmm not sure I like that part but the engine itself looks lovely. Congrats.

Most of these locos are available with a simple manual control. Use of radio control is just a personal choice.
