It can be quite useful knowing me sometimes. One of my clubmates is considering buying a Roundhouse Millie, and since the engine I'd borrowed for review in Garden Rail hadn't gone back home quite yet, I arranaged to take it down to the outdoor track, so he could have a go.
I was a little tight for time as in the morning, I'd been at the Lapworth show - there wasn't even a chance for me to try a sausage batch lunch - so I'd not sorted out any rolling stock. Still, it was the loco he wanted to try, and so we fired it up light engine.
Millie performed well, you'll have to read the review to find out how I felt about it, and I think my friend was impressed. He followed the model around the track for three circuits, but then was happy to let it head off on it's own - a sign of a well-behaved engine.
Now all I need to do is clean it up for collection...

Looking at the top, front-side photo, it's a very good looking loco. I personally think tank and smaller utility engines are far more interesting than the big express haulers somehow.
