14xx at Scaleforum 2014
Whilst at Scaleforum 2014 last weekend I took the chance to give my GWR 14xx, an Airfix body with a High Level chassis, a run on the Risborough & District MRC's test track. After a strutting start it completed several laps, in both directions, without stoping. Earlier in the day I had spoken to Andrew Ullyott to see if I could give the loco a run on his 'Wheal Elizabeth' when the show started to run down on the Saturday, as you can see.
No real problems, but if I were building it now I would build the basic chassis and get it running before adding all the chassis fine details. Next on the production line is the pannier chassis for a 57xx but with CSB not beam compensation.
That looks good. How hard was the High Level chassis to build?
