This was my first steaming of loco since purchasing earier this year.
This Loco has the small boiler and looks to have to have been steamed up very little, but probably spent most of it's life as an exhibit
Once fired up she ran well apart from some steam loss on safety vale base and a few leaks from pipes and some water drips from a side tank for which will be addressed.
Loco has PATRICIA nameplates , the builder not known ?
Hi thanks for your comments, loco can steam for as long as you want, just keep topping the side tanks and adding coal. Being the small boiler version, you just need to keep topping the boiler up. For the size of loco power is okay pulling an adult on board.
