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

Hey tsp, did you try to run it on air before you tried steam? Nothing's leaking or trying to move?
Without having it in front of me I'm going to guess that the steam line is totally plugged. The
valve assembly looks different. I've seen a couple variations of this style with a roller ball.
Yours is missing parts and has some damage that I see. Here's what a similar one looks like with
all the parts.
