- Page 2 General Hints: As with all operating machinery, whether model or full size, wear will occur. In the model steam locomotive much can be done to help prolong its life and decrease the amount of time required in the workshop for servicing. Keep the engine as clean as possible, and the motion free from dirt and garden debris.
- Page 3 To fill the gas tank: invert the gas can and apply the nipple to the gas inlet valve. It is advisable to support the loco under the gas tank whilst filling, to prevent the engine tipping backwards. You will know when the tank is full; gas will blow back from the inlet valve in a strong jet.
- Page 4 Running When the engine has raised about 50 psi you are ready to start running. It is advisable to run the engine in reverse first; it clears the condensed water from the cylinders best this way. Before commencing your first run of the day, it is advisable to put a cloth loosely over the chimney for a few minutes, as condensed water will be ejected from the chimney.
- Page 5 End of Run The locomotive should be allowed to cool and all boiler pressure to go down. When cool, gently release the water filler cap by about 2 turns to allow the boiler to have free breathing space and not to create a vacuum as it cools. Now clean the engine, check the motion and oil if necessary.
