Overview
When a video starts out with the theme to the "Benny Hill Show", you're not sure what to expect. As it turns out, it is just plain fun; running the live steam engines on the track for the first time.
All I can say is that little 3 1/2" engine is one heck of a power house. Makes me want to build a flat car to ride on and put it behind my USA F3 A&B.
Riding Trains
Very interesting. Those engines really have some good speed. I wonder what the little one's speed is in scale MPH.

Larger Garden
When you get into riding behind your locomotives, I would think you are moving out of the Garden Gauge and into the Riding Scales.
The 3?" and 5" are popular small riding scales in England while 7?" gauge is the basic standard of the riding scales.

Great looking steam engines. Hope you have the layout all around your backyard now. Stay on track,
