chain gets a bit sloppy after a few runs

Imagine the sales if the Internet was in existence back then.😮

amazing!! Great job! Cant wait to have mine own heheh

Beautiful loco, great little yard layout, and perfect day! Thanks for sharing. Building one or more of your locos is on my very short list of things to do. What is the track used in this video? Cheers!

Hello and thank yo for the video ,I am starting out in my garden using a Roundhouse "Lady Anne" as my first loco , as I live close by near Skipton I was wondering if you ever had an open day for me to come along for a chat , regards Neil

Brillant running loco and a great layout - thank you for this little movie!

👍

Nice movie, cheers Fabrizio - like 1

That looks like a double Fairlie?

One recommendation I'd recommend to anyone buying any small, tankless live steamer is to replace the filler cap with a Goodall valve. This will allow the boiler to be refilled without having to open the cap, allowing safe refilling during operation. The valve itself just screws on in place of the cap. As for lighting, I've had issues with trying to light through the chimney/smokestack where the flame ends up just sitting on the smokestack. There's also one model out there where lighting via the smokestack is a VERY bad idea with... but if you know what you're doing with live steam you'd avoid the Aristocraft Live Steam Mikado like the plague anyway. Anyway, I typically end up lighting my live steamers through the smokebox instead. This also doubles as a way to shield the flame from wind.

Is this one in Crimson Lake?

I have your silver lady locomotive. She’s a fantastic locomotive. I’m in Norway so she’s had to run in cold weather. She manages this perfectly. Even in -10 degrees weather

2:53 I’m lucky to have mine already. It’s beautifully built and a superb runner.

Awesome looks like O guage

I have one on order, I’m a happy man

🚂🚂🚂😎😎😎👍

Fantastic chaps, I can't wait for mine 😉

A beauty and a brillant running engine!

That is stunning. My only wish is that you made this available as a kit, I'd put my order in today.

I still have the original VHS Tape and I watch it regularly.

Wow, a proper blast from the past. 1989 was the year I first found out about Roundhouse, though it was unfortunately another 18 years before I was able to buy my first. The collection is growing now though. Keep it going.

Great video, that onboard camera shot was probably difficult to capture back then before the advent of the GoPro and other small cameras. I can imagine quite a large bulky camera strapped on for the ride. I am saving up to purchase a Lady Anne kitset eventually. I'm finding track to be very expensive in here in NZ so the project is on hold until I can justify it with Mrs T. Greetings from NZ.

Beautiful historical footage. I saw the Fowler and I assume it was one of your first locomotives built. Over the years I have purchased many of your locos, both steam and diesel and they are all wonderful, they have toured a lot on my garden layaut and have never had any trouble. I also have a Fouler, taken many years ago from ELR, converted to coal, which works very well. I can only congratulate you on your locomotives! Hello Fabrizio

I found this video very informative, I will pass this onto my clients, thankyou

Wow i love this. You need P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!!

I am hoping to build a garden railway and get a Roundhouse loco next year. I think I will probably enjoy the preparation and steam up more than the actual running... and I mean that in a good way.

Another great video.

Very interesting wagon! Cheers, Fabrizio - like one

Lovely model but couldn’t finish the video due to the awful music 👍

What size spanner do you use to tighten the valve gear?

Add the falcon class when sir hadyn is in corris railway

Nice

Remove 50ml of water when you fill to the brim not the 30ml Roundhouse recommend. This will prevent excessive water entering the steam valve pipework and cylinders making the loco easier to run on start up.

Great video. I’m surprised by the light weight of the steam oil though as I’ve always used 460 and evidently plenty has fed through to the cylinders. Has this weight of oil always been recommended?

I enjoyed that! I have found that turning the gas down once the pressure gauge hits 20psi avoids wasting steam, and then keep adjusting it down as the loco heats up means nice long run. A filler valve to top up the boiler is good too - a few pumps from a pump bottle every so often stops you running the boiler dry and can be used to prevent the safety valve lifting and wasting steam. My best run with a RH Beddgelert is 57 minutes on one gas fill once she had reached 20psi! (Not including time spent warming up from cold.)

Hello, I have a lot of your steam and diesel locomotives and they run since many years in perfect conditions! With my compliments, cheers, Fabrizio - like one

Well done guys!

Lovely. I would love to run my locomotives on your outer line 👍

The more I see this, the more I want one! Currently saving madly...!

Pity my club runs on 45mm track

Gutted it 32mm only but saves me money I suppose

Nice locomotive that I had seen in your Website too! It run only in 32 mm. It is a pity, I think! With my compliments for your interesting production! Cheers Fabrizio

Nice to see it in steam. I think you have another winner.

Impressive stuff

Great locomotive! Happy New Year!

You should do more like that nice

Very interesting and impressive movie! With my compliments! B.Regards, Fabrizio

Nice locomotive!

Sounds and looks beautiful !

Very nice loco!
