The safety valves were on the very limit for the accumulation test - they either need new springs or replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Neither axle pump nor injector are effective - the former not helped by a badly leaking gland which needs repacking. Fortunately the hand pump works beautifully, quickly replenishing the boiler when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    There is a small amount of play in the axleboxes - machining tolerance rather than wear - and the reverser overthrows in reverse, it needs a stop collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The tender body is in brass - there are a few minor leaks from tank to sole plate, others from bolts underneath. The traditionalists would  calk with soft solder, alternatively it could be sealed with one of the proprietary expoxy fuel tank sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    As ever our friends at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.modelengineerslaser.co.uk\/Catalogue\/LocomotivePart\/254\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eModel Engineers Laser\u003c\/a\u003e can provide a wide range of high quality profiled parts for this design, including the cab and running boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Rather a rare model in this - indeed in any - gauge.
