The Yanks can it too...
http://picasaweb.google.com/jschoenly/CabinFever2008#of 2008 though, does anybody have more recent pictures ?
The Newspaper clips above are from an event many years ago on the track of my club, long before I joined.
It was a 7,25" Loco, indeed running for > 100 miles, without a single stop.
There is a little film, maybe I'll put it into YouYube.
Scaled up to 1:1 this is at least London - Edinborough, even the spankling brand new Tornado cannot do this...
The Loco still does exist, sadly at another club now, all but one of the drivers have passed away.
So what does this tell us?
