Testing The Battery Converted Lima O Gauge 4683 LMS Fowler 4F Steam Locomotive

Video Description

I'm testing the battery converted Lima O gauge steam locomotive 4683 Fowler 4F. This is the first public appearance for the LMS 4683 4F steam loco at the Forget Me Not Garden Railway for more testing on 28th April 2025. The test is successful and it didn't give up all through the afternoon with the single charge. This loco is also announced for it's first event day appearance at the Abbey Pumping Station for their Emergency Services Day event on 11th May 2025. Those who are wondering, this loco and coaches came from the train pack from Lima. The loco has been converted to battery powered and the green battery pack is visible beneath the boiler with the incorrect scale speed with the simple switch at the footplate. I taped lead under the loco's frames to put more weight for more traction. I gave the loco a replacement motor from Strathpeffer Junction Youtube channel. If you haven't seen his channel already, it's a worth the visit. If you're into 80s or 90s oo gauge model railways. https://www.youtube.com/@StrathpefferJunction This garden railway is based at the Abbey Pumping Station museum in Leicester. It was built by the beam engine team between July and September 2024. The grand opening of the G scale line was on 5th October 2024 during the Railway Day With Models event and the official grand opening was on 23rd February 2025 with the O gauge line during the Steam Toys In Action event. The garden railway will be running on the event days including Railway days and Steam With The Team.
