Hornby Live Steam loco token in parts

This is a fantastic video. Thanks for making it.

I was able to work out exactly what was wrong with my A4 (there were actually 3 different problems). The hardest of all to properly fix was the timing and there's no way I could have done it without this video. Literally 1/8 of a turn of the timing screw makes quite a big difference. It took me many steamings to get it right (initially the A4 would not move at all).

Now the A4 actually runs better than it did when it was new.

Happy to have been useful for you

Thats because they only say not to dismantl Hornbys live steam modles.

i thought hornby said that under no circumstances you were allowed to take a live steam locomtive apart

I never heard or read of Hornby banning locos dismantling. They are aware long time ago of what I did. Obviously they should be fair denouncing guarantee. Everybody does at his own risk.
