  Thanks,

  They're very good engines, easy to work on and easy to operate. I've got two of the later type with the full tanks....

• Hi again Allan,
  
  Is it necessary to remove any body work to remove the burner in order to clean/replace the gas jet?
  
  Thanks,

  Hi Dave. No need to take off the body to clean the jet. Just undo the nut holding the pipe on the burner and the holder should just pull out. Undo the jet from the holder and blow through the front of the jet with the gas can. That should clear it. Don't poke anything in the hole to clear it...Allan.

  Congrat's Dave, you're lucky, we can't get the generic Accucraft over here at the moment. You'll really enjoy her. Are you going to give her a name?

• Thanks, Bob and Allan.
  
  I'm thinking about a few names and will decide after spending some time with it. My other steam locos are named for fondly remembered past pet cats, so Kitty is the only option left if I continue with that theme. I'm not sure that's a good fit.
