A live steam 1:32 scale model of the N&W 611 streamlined locomotive pulls 12 Powhatan Arrow cars. Loco and cars made by Accucraft. Location at Pete Comley's Sunset Valley Railroad.
These Accucraft Live Steam Locomotives can only be operated by RC Radio Control ? Corrrect ? ...I.e., by a throttle Servo connected to a Receiver controlled by the Transmitter ? Is there a way to manually control the Speed and Boiler Water Injection requirements ?? Do the tracts rust in weather or are they Stainless Steel ?
Your N&W 611 class J locomotive and Powhatan Arrow consist is beautiful. As an American railroad modeler, I am a big fan of passenger trains and the 611. Have you ever seen her in real life? Just one comment, Wherever the iconic 611 is or what scale you run her She will always be The Queen of Steam. Thank you for presenting Her in a most respectful way. Any plans to add a functional auxillary water tender?
Thanks for your comments! I’ve not seen the prototype but videos of it are very impressive! I certainly enjoy running this train at Steamups on the West coast.
Beautiful train! And railroad looking better than ever!
Loved this video Peter - your track looks great and that locomotive runs really well.
Awesome vid of a sweet run on a gorgeous railway
Absolutely lovely locomotive and fine looking passenger consist Pete. Really like the archway viaduct. ( really ).
All the best, Peter@deltatrains.

That’s how it’s done
How do you stop it? Is it like a wound up toy, you just let it keep going until it runs out of steam?
There's a throttle valve that can stop it anytime. Or you wait until the fuel runs out as long as there's water pumping in.
I'd very much like to get into this hobby, how does one start?
