Have been home a week now from our trip so on the weekend after mowing and getting all the leaves of the track I gave marvin a run it ran round the track well the first run and after a topup it has decided to leak from some where and puts the flames out

so looks like Ihave a job ahead

Is Marvin the loco that fried the sight glass on our last running day, I think the meth's burner caught alight at the breather. Maybe you forgot due to your impending trip. I think you said "there's a job for when I get back"

paul it was the black SL1K that melted the sightglass Marvin is the green MSS loco

I have the high pressure boiler back on sale complete with water gauge, filler valve, high pressure safety valve, steam regulator and pipe - all for £99.99p. I am also introducing a new specially made 0-50psi pressure gauge and siphon to fit this boiler.

The new company is called 'Dream Steam'!
