Lord Nelson
Though some might like to see my Lord Nelson Class engine running now that all the tests are complete, the basic engine runs very well in fact it’s a joy to drive and it can be seen here on youtube steaming round my small track.
The new boiler that fitted the coal space better and increased the water capacity on tests gave 40 minutes run time which is 10 minutes longer than the A3 and A4 engines which is great as Mr Maunsell wanted to design an engine that would travel a long way before it would need to stop for water and even with this model he can be proud of his design as I wanted my engine to achieve the same performance in distance and it has.

Nice work Ken! I hail from the south so appreciate a nice Southern flavour in steam.
There is so many 4-6-0 locos to choose from to model, it’s a real shame that Hornby never quite got that sorted chassis wise, we would have a ball by now and be able to replicate many other locos from all reigeons .
