No.6 Peveril - by Accucraft
A proper run at the Foxdale to Derbyhaven line
I visited Les Darbyshire's Foxdale to Derbyhaven line on the 5th June and give Peveril a proper run. It might be a while before she gets another proper run as I don't have anywhere close to home to run her. Anyway I also made a quick video which you can see below. I hope you enjoy it. The weather wasn't great, but she ran well in the rain. |
First steaming
I couldn't wait any longer! I laid out my 6 yards of flexy track on the patio and raised steam. It's the first time I have run a gas loco and I must say that she is a beauty. Here are some videos of the first steam. A bit dark as the light was fading, and also a bit wobbly. They are done on my camera phone while holding the radio control unit controlling the loco. |
Arrival - 31st May 2012
Pre-production model
Below are the photos that I have found of the pre-production version of the Peveril by Accucraft. It's worth noting that these photos are of an early engineering sample and the finished model when ready for production will be far more accurate. ( You ain't seen nothing yet!)
