Caracas is a great little engine, powerful for it's size too, it's our favoured loco over others for it's simplicity. It did indeed recieve a repaint when it arrived.

Canadian pacific is currently out of service whilst we fit new batteries. So we are currently down to two passenger carrying locos.

Will try and update throughout the week.

Cheers
Alex

Alex,

Thanks for posting the photos - looks like an interesting line.

Any details of who built the Canadian Pacific? I presume it's not sit in and controlled from a driving truck behind, like your other stock?

Hi Peter

At the moment I am unsure of the locomotives builder, but I will try and find out at the weekend for you, it is controlled by a remote and the driver does have to sit in one of the coaches behind.
