Hi Julia hopefully Sundays run will be even better then last run you had with caterpillar Now you’ve done the valve timing should pull away better and more even Lovely video 👍🏻👍🏻
well sussed out Julia👍👍👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 someone made a hash of setting those valves. coincidentally ive just made 2 slide valves for my sweet pea build all the best for sunday. hope the weather holds regards kev
It's possible the eccentric moved at some point Kev but it seems a lot happier now. Look forward to seeing your slide valves and glad you have managed to get some model engineering done 🤣 hopefully get some good video tomorrow.
Top result - a fine example of getting the fundamental set up right for best results. The genuine laugh of joy told the whole story. All model engineers know that feeling when an engine suddenly runs! 👍👍
I hope that has cured the problem Julia. The running gear does look and sound good. I hope the weather plays nice on Sunday. Looking forward to some more footage. Take care. Nobby
Taking notes from this one! Very informative on piston packing- oddly I never saw it before.
It's one of those jobs you have to do from time to time. Should make a big difference as less steam is wasted 😀
Cylinder looks loose on the frames

I was really pleased Stuart and it ran like a dream on Sunday 😁
Fantastic! Great stuff.
It's surprising that it ran at all! Can't believe the timing was so far out. Looking forward to seeing Caterpillar run on Sunday😀
I think at speed the rear port was just uncovered but it seems a lot happier now. I'm wondering if the slip eccentric moved at some point. 😀
Delighted, when Caterpillar responded to your treatment. I wouldn't mind betting she was a different loco, on the track.
Thanks Andrew she performed impeccably on Sunday so really pleased. 😀
That looks to be a huge improvement, i look forward to seeing her run again.
Thanks I'm looking forward to it too 🙂
Well done, running nice 👌
Thanks I hope that's improved it's running 🙂
great job. bit of a genious
Not really just a methodical approach 😀

Thanks Nobby I'm hoping I get a decent run tomorrow 🙂
