Retread, sorry. But seeing seeing the Flying Scotsman gave me a much needed shot in
the arm, or a kick in the kiester, whichever. This bit from a Hornby set, I am told, called the
"Rural Rambler" and dates to the 1970's, manufactured in enormous quantities. It ran pretty
good after a little clean and lube. Note the super wide drivers and deep dish flanges. This OO
puppy won't tolerate Atlas 100 crossings and switches, and so the entire layout is built up from
Hornby OO track- that costs a bleeping fortune. I know, it's only double O, but I like it, like it, yes
I do.

Thanks, I guess.I do find that little tank engine fairly nice, though.

That is quite a nice looking locomotive. In the video, it seems like it runs pretty well, too.

I've always subconsciously noticed that on a lot of steam locomotives. I'm not totally sure, why.

Great video. Passenger cars in background really made the
scene evocative. Thanks for posting.
