Mine is quiet hea...

A little 5inch loco (mines and 0-6-0 sidetank loco) can haul about 8 adults without a problem, it depends on the gradients and how good a driver is really!! They can be ver powerfulll!!

My small 5inch loco can be got from cold to steam ready in half an hour, it has a huge firebox for its size, (its a small loco). It can bepend on how you like to steam your loco really.

Im heavilly into 5inch locos, currently restoring my first loco, at 18 (today)!! I d...

The route does have some limited signaling now!! The loco is Decapods SECR O1 class, a very nive model indeed.

The route is now finished minor packaging and permisions. At the moment im very busy and am unsure if the route is really worth worth releasing.

Regards

Well yes and no re the gradients, I didnt use DEM data, I never intended to release this, or even complete it so I didnt bother really, however I find most engiens behave ina certain way over certain sections of the line that leads me to believe somewhere I must have created some steepish gradients!...

I may also include some a...
