Casey Jones running on the railway, with old Delton long coaches in tow. They look pretty good together. Just need to be redecaled for Illinois Central from C&S.

Next run video will be longer and better. Casey was fighting a timing issue, had to adjust the reverse eccentrics on the axle to get the timing right. Would fight itself going forward, especially noticable when the axle pump was working hard. But all but not run in reverse. Now it will run smooth forward and backwards on air. Decided to rain here today, so no run on steam yet. Maybe later this afternoon.

new video after dialing in the eccentric timing. I would swap this off to a new home for the right live steam 16mm narrow gauge model from RH, Pearse or Cheddar. If its someone local enough to pick up in person, I would even include the coaches.
