Very nice! I just ordered one of these and am a little nervous because of several reviews I read about poor hauling capabilities (stalling on two coaches), so very nice to see it pulling a 5+1! Did you add any extra weight to the chassis?
+N-Gauge-US Sorry for the late reply. Its stock with no mods. The dapol coaches are light and free wheeling. It will pull enough for most layouts. On older coaches just check the bearings where the wheels clip in. They fill up with dirt and create drag. Not an issue for older metal bodied locos but the M7 will struggle. I'm sure you'll like your one. If you don't I'll give it a good home :)

Sadly mine has relatively poor hauling capacity. It struggles with two Dapol B-set coaches and four Peco wagons. :/
Very nice
