Julien did ask me to keep you posted on progress so here goes. I have been waiting for the Norfolk & Suffolk group to post some video of the built class B and it has taken so long that I have also built the Backwoods Class C. Something to thank covid for?

you should get to the January photo meet of the N&S group. Down almost at the bottom are a couple of short videos. The Class B is on my test/running in circle. The Class C is on a short length of 'straight' track---it won't go round the tight curve of the test track: stands to reason, I suppose, as the original would not run on the hill climb to Darjeeling.
Thanks once again for the help and advice. I am now building the GEM WDLR 4-6-0. As fellow member of the group, Graham Watling, once said, I only build quirky models!

Both locomotives are impressive and run very nicely. Congratulations.
