Very good review as usual, a cast boiler...👍 The chimney diameter is the same as the larger Bullied Pacific's, so the exhaust sound should be the same and look good on this smaller loco...and this is quite convincing... The exhaust beat are in sync with the wheel revolutions.👍is this a TTS decoder, or an ESU...? The traction tyres maybe necessary with this 4-4-0, as chassis balance is important, as built hundreds in my time as a loco kit builder and had many problems with satisfactory traction for this particular type of design...there are a few people swapping out the traction tire fitted wheel sets and just fitting the standard wheels in place, with no effect on performance or not? A very nice model...

Thanks for watching my friend. The decoder is an ESU loksound V3.5. This loco was released around 7-8 years before Hornby started doing TTS.
