In reality it looks far better than the pictures which I must admit look a
bit toy like - I have fired mine once so far on a 10 foot inside test bed -
It ran like a dream. Plenty of power.

It may be a copy of the 1930 s BL moguls but I think the build quality is
excellent.
I originally bought mine as a must have just to own, but am now building a
garden railway just to run it .
I cant stand the idea of things being just owned and never given a chance to
show what they can do.
BTW if you can get the LMS version in black then get it in preference to the
maroon LMS version even though they are basically the same loco the maroon
looks more toy like .
Anyone know of any other 0 gauge live steam locos - my mogul needs company
