Beautiful work. She deserves DCC and sound to really bring her to life.

What scale is this? You mention the gauge but HO is shared by two scales so I assume it is 00

There where many Class 1 U.S.A. railroads that operated large compound mallet 2-8-8-2's similar to the Y-3. I wonder how much it would take to make an accurate NP Z-4 from one of those models.

Nice layout, I have a couple Diamond cross overs wondering how I can use them, now I know where one of them will go. As for the Lima, good to see that a little drop of oil will do the trick, happy days and thanks for sharing 😃😃

What brand is it?

That is really something else as Rivarossi, but simplicity is something, as I foun out with the vintage Fleischmann, real big screws,and a lot of metal, as the Roco ones are something else in that matter as well. same with Hornby and Bachmann, the Hornby simple design is very kind for me. :)

This a more nice layout than the previous one, but very nice presentations of the items.

Nice little layout......

It's 'axles' not axels!

I bought this new some years ago but I was never comfortable with the pale blue body and pale yellow front. I later found a 'Royal Scots Grey'body with much more convincing colours. So mine has a new guise. Years on, all my Lima diesels still run like new complete with noisy motors but I love this sound.

Rivarossi products are cheap and a waste of money. Sorry you had that issue. Save your money and buy a Broadway Limited Imports Big Boy. Well worth it and look way better. Not maid from plastic. Your paying the same amount of money from BLI for a way better product. CV

Good Job. 👏🏼

Runs great 👍

Angry little engine

Wow 🤩 this seems to run on tight curves too? Is that radius 1 in the middle?

Is this the Lima battery run but on a DC track with a transformer?

Do you know how to fix a split axel if you don't have a replacement. I was looking for a replacement but can't find any in the UK.

What repair details ?

You have put the connecting rods upside down. When the loco is on the track, the knuckle should be facing up and not down.

Nice details 💯🔥🔥🔥👀

If I may ask. I have the same model and it was bought semi brand new and with the original motor at %50 speed on the controller it goes super slow on straights and around curves no matter if they are the 3rd radius Hornby curves or the 9 inch Bachmann EZ-track curves. So my question is how fast does yours go at %50 speed on the controller? Mine struggles

You can convert nkp 779 to dcc and sound

You stuck the tender body on with glue ?, wow that should make it easy to service the motor .

This is the second train of mine Rowland has sorted another brilliant job done thank you

Fantastic job a massive thank you for sorting my none runner top bloke.

I Have the Same Thing Just The 600 and The Rods Are Messed up and I Do not Know if I Can Fix it

Recently picked up one of these myself. Which screws would i have to take out to access the gears to lubricate them?

that may be why my britania nrver worked well

Great loco

Just out of curiosity, does running a double header with analogue models cause issues/strain on motors due to differences in power and speed?

For this train you need much more space, for each corner of your room, that would be very impressive

Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.

stuttering on the points, can be sorted by cleaning the copper pickups and the backs of wheels

Very nice indeed. Different style of video but it made the 'point' clear enough! Excuse the pun, won't you? All the best. Cheers!

I'd love to know how too get the body off!

Would this apply to the Wrenn castle and 8F as well

Good repairs. I have found these to be reliable. You can get replacement cogs for the motor spindle but they need pressing on Thanks for showing. Regards Paul.

never expected to be the first view! keep up the good work!

I had the same problem with my Lima King. Running well now. Glad yours is sorted. Cheers Paul

Very good layout

How do you find a Union Pacific that hasn’t got the doc sound and smoke on it because I’m struggling to find one?

Nice!. I recently bought one at my local train show for $55 . Runs like a dream.

I had one of these in the 80s, was a great runner

I am afraid that if that bulging was caused by Mazak rot, this is only a temporary repair. As the metal of the weight will continue to degrade.

Dear withers can I have the track plan for this layout of yours please. Thanks Victor

Dear Roy can i have the track plan for this test layout please..Thank you.

might be worth getting new axles for it, peters spares do them, as the axles fail on the mainline locos
