Here is why I point and laugh at people who think MSR's Jim is a Skylark. Here's how big a Skylark is compared to a TR slate wagon. I reiterate. For 2ft-ish gauge engines, they're... ENORMOUS

Ember finally shows her paces at a nearby model club! She performed faultlessly I'm happy to say, with my recent joining of the 16mm society, you never know you might just meet ember yourself in a garden railway near you...!

I've managed to rig together a temporary means of getting Ember to move under her own power. She's a wee bit sharp off the line, but she runs smoothly once she is. I imagine this'll iron out once she's properly bedded in.
