My Bassett-Lowke LMS Enterprise tinplate live steamer arrived as I was going out the door to work. After shift, I came home and got to unpack my new train. After some wipe down, oiling the locomotive was ready. But after a test filling of the alcohol burner revealed a split seam at the rear of the tank, a quick resoldering job was in order. After that was squared away, the fire was lit and a short test run was done on blocks. She runs well. With no actual throttle, speed is controled by the load she pulls. Obviously at this hour, a run on track is not an option as my wife would have my hide for that. Hope to get a chance to run it on track later this weekend.
