Finally its virtually complete. First test after setting up the brakes. I need to be a little more assertive with the throttle!

Alastair, your engine test video came up as a suggestion in my youtube account.........and it was good to see it running on it's own tracks. Well done!

Have you set yourself a deadline for any of the "80th" events next year?

Hi Alistair. You have come a long way. From little acorns come mighty Oak trees. You are probably the most clued up guy on Loyd Carriers around the world at the moment. From such a minimal start, to this! My respect to you.
