Sunny Sunday (13) - running session - GVT loco's first outing...

I decided to start with running the Bagnall 2-8-2 and some bogey coaches. ..

the loco kept derailing, so did the van and the brake coach (some heat problems I expect). I gave up on the loco - later inspection showed a trailing bogey had come loose and was causing most of the problems.

I swapped to the single Fairlie, much better and minimal derailments

Finally set up a train to run with the completed GVT loco

Glyn, looking nice in its all black livery...

the loco ran really well with no problems....
