Struggling to get my old loco running smoothly
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2014 11:26 am
I got some help getting my MMS loco up and running after some cylinder changes (thanks mainly to DLRDan on here!), but after a summer of running it still has a problem.
The symptoms are this. It steams up fine (gas burner) and upon releasing the regulator it runs great for about 20-30 seconds and the slows to a halt (even off track). Close the regulator, allow the steam to build and it'll go through the same cycle.
Any ideas from experience of what might be causing this or things o can try to diagnose the problem?
