My first attempt at a descriptive video, so please excuse all the technical faults with the filming. I think my skills improve and the presentation gets better toward the end of the video!
I forgot to mention in the video that this locomotive was built using some parts from my earlier 'Imp' locomotive and the layout of the drive and controls is based on a locomotive design by Colin Edmondson also coincidentally called 'Imp'.
If you want to find out more about his designs and the components used to build this locomotive there is a Facebook group called the 'Scamp Locomotive Group' (  / 449895411876067  , aimed primarily at those who own or are interested in his Scamp locomotives, but also for those interested in his other designs. I made use of several of the Scamp Locomotive Group files which can be found at   / files  , including the Imp Build Instructions which contain a lot of useful information.
Those of you old enough to be familiar with the old Hillman range of cars will have possibly realised why I decided to name this locomotive 'Minx'. Hillman had models named 'Imp' and 'Minx', so I thought it appropriate for the reborn version of my 'Imp' (which also owes much to Colin Edmondson's Imp design) to be called 'Minx'.
