The many adventures of Vincent!

[pauly]

Ran Vincent today and somethings deffinety up with the burner

It needed a lot more turns of the gas valve before any gas actually started venting and when I got it to light it would start off OK but then slowly burn down and aventually go out

I dont know, I suspected a partially blocked jet so I tried clearing it but it doesnt seem to have made any differance so Ill have to get that looked at by Ferrysteam see what he makes of it.

anyway I eventually got it going and managed to get it to run so slow if would be considered slow even on a real narrow gauge railway, it actually took it exactly 2 minutes to make a complete circuit of the line









this is becoming my faviourate spot to take pics


whiste!






gotta keep those weeds down so run trains, lots and lots of low slung trains to keep those pesky weeds at bay




and I think I might have run her dry
so I got out the simplex and a set of log bogies for a bit


gotta love these multihieght couplings

Vincents are great locos once they get settled into a run!

Like most Regners... the burners are a bit dodgy, at first they seem to keep going out or blowing flames up the chimney!

Tramway is looking good, the whistle has the advantage of also looking like draincocks!

Nice pics, i'm a bit worried that some sections of your line are starting to look like the SLR (north)! SLRmidge would be proud of those bits of greenery

There's nothing quite like getting your big bogies out!
