Thanks Will, nice seeing you again too I might look at booking into next year's show with the lister or something. I have got a 8ftx16ft o gauge tinplate layout in the planning just need to make the boards small enough to go in the back of my van.

It's a small show but there is a lot to to see. A great day out I have gone for the past 3 years and it is gradually getting bigger in size.

Great video.
I hope I will get a wilesco d9 for birthday soon.

[@jonesthesteam]

Wilesco steam engines are great fun to operate! I have a D16 and I always enjoy running it!

[@MuddyLakeEngineering]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your wilesco D9 sounds good let me know what it's like if you get one. I don't have one of them but I have got a D21 wilesco engines are brilliant I have mainly traction engines and rollers not many stationary ones. I would highly recommend a Bix gas burner on double acting wilesco's engines you can get them to run very slowly.

@@MuddyLakeEngineering The d16 that I have can also run very slowly but because running at low speed doesn’t use much steam, it causes the safety valve to blow quite often. I don’t have any traction engines or rollers but I do know someone who has.

[@MuddyLakeEngineering]

@@jonesthesteam that's great. You can get the traction engines and rollers ticking over slowly with out a gas burner but they are really worth it just to fine tune the control even more. I can say the showmans engine has to be running fast to produce enough power for the lights to be bright enough.
