Flying Scotsman 0 gauge, Testing on Hawthorn Hedge Garden Railway.

In this video I test the Hattons/Heljan 0 gauge Flying Scotsman.
Testing running
Pulling power
Performance of Kadee couplers fitted in last video.
Then go to the workshop where I make a back to back gauge and test the loco wheel back to backs.
Finally clean the wheels.
I am having issues with this loco. It was bought when discounted but is it a good runner oir just a shelf queen.
There was a lot of hype about what good value this model was and a lot of praise for the project from other Youtubers. Did Hattons go too cheap and create a big green lemon or give us the good value A3 they promised.
Just after finishing the video I tried running the engine again but with track really clean and loco serviced. I ran into more problems.
Stay tuned for next episode and see how it goes.

Let me know in comments if you have one of these locos, A3 or A4 and if you had issues or have any fixes.
