Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

  This is really a fascinating account of the many things that can be wrong with an old engine, and possible solutions, very educational, Thanks!

Thank you Sir for the kind words. Yes, very many things wrong with this poor beast, but time will tell if I am able to resuscitate it in any meaningful way.

Meanwhile, as I'm unsure if you've gotten the WHOLE story, thought I'd add a couple of links here, to take you back to earlier related threads that provide more detail and perhaps a bit of insight.
