Yes I run live steam with a Accu Ragleth (as well as battery, a RH bulldog)tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 10:42 am If you are running live steam then fit an inertia device.
That will only help the OP if the inertia device is in a trailing wagon. The inertia device smooths power delivery to the wheels. The OP's problem is traction to deliver power to the rail. If an inertia device is in a trailing wagon than it might help as that wagon essentially provides an extra driven axle when the loco has a tendency to stall.tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 10:42 am If you are running live steam then fit an inertia device.
and not only that, with a straight boiler the front area of the burner tube (internally fired models) is when driving uphill without water cover.Tingewickmax wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 9:26 pm There is a risk that water in the boiler will cover this outlet rather than steam from the top of the boiler entering it.
