Pre-Grouping Railways Nut
I need a little help. I regularly run this delightful Beyer-Peacock single driver locomotive on my GCR-GER-M&GNR layout and I really like driving it, but trying to find the right engine spec for it has been a bit of a trial. The problem is I don't just want to run it under DCC, but I also want to run it using the 'realistic' advanced controls. So far I've found some engines specs that seemed promising on DCC, but won't work at all using the advanced steam engine controls. At present No.3 has a 2P engine spec by Paul Hobbs which does work well on both DCC and when I use the advanced steam engine controls, but the problem is No.3 is now just too good and has a performance way beyond what it should have. These Beyer-Peacock singles were a very successful design, but they were nothing like as good as how No.3 is at present since No.3 can readily outperform other more modern engines on the line with ease. Despite having made some stunningly fast passenger runs which were amazing fun I really would like to find a more appropriate engine spec for this old engine.
Any useful suggestions would be very much welcomed and received with thanks.
