Going back to diesel electrics , the next issue of Model Engineer - No. 4440 - has just dropped through my letterbox and, as I thought, this was not going to be a lengthy, blow-by-blow account of the loco's construction since the second part of the series is the last. This part deals in a small way with the construction of the body, but most of the part is dealing with all the adjustments and alterations which had to be made to0 get the loco running in the required manner.
There's a video of the unpainted loco running with six coaches on the Birmingham SME web site
It certainly looks very controllable and the engine sound is not too off-putting. The horn sound comes from an MP3 player through a 4W amplifier and speaker.
