    Great too see it running on a set of rails. I wonder if there is a way to set up a servo in the cab for the direction and throttle to run buy Radio control rather than you happening to run after it

      For better or worse this engine uses what is called “slip eccentric valve gear” which can only be reversed by moving the entire engine backwards or forwards. Hopefully I can build an oval of track at some point so I don’t have to run after it (it’s faster than it looks!)

    It's so cool that you were able to take a basically junked live steam engine and turn it into a functioning locomotive in a matter of weeks!
