Excellent, looks like she's got a good deal more nip in her than my achilles. Your springs look a bit lighter than mine. I've got a few teething problems too but mine steams really well (on the right coal) too...
Ought to have a Blue achilles doubler header if possible one time!
@DebenValleyLightRail Hi mate. Thanks very much. My blower has been playing up a bit and the valve gear is a little worn. I have a friend of a friend who is willing to do the brasses on the engine after this season so it should be tighter than a, well, I don't know! lol. But it will be much tighter and will run sweeter. As the valves are probs a little out of time then it may ride better afterwards! I'm sure yours has plenty of nip too. haha. Where are you based anyway m8??
@DebenValleyLightRail Cool stuff, we're obvs Coventry. I've going to get the engine rebushed after this summer season so it should be newish by next year :). Never seem to stop maintaining engines!

Super. I bought 30 years ago an Ajax 5" in Norwich. Please look at my 7.5" backyard train.
