pleasure, providing the following safety procedures are followed: -

When refilling the gas, do not have any naked flame present, and
NO SMOKING!

Do not pick up the engine by the bodywork, chimney or boiler,
especially when hot.
6.
Only pick up the engine by the buffer beams and, when hot, use
old gloves or a cloth.

- 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 The boiler water filler is on the manifold on top of the firebox in the cab. The Goodall valve will allow the boiler to be topped up while in steam. The main steam regulator valve is the handle on the rear of this manifold.
- Page 4 Filling the lubricator: as you will read in the instructions for the end of the run, the lubricator should be left empty of oil and water. Fill up the lubricator with steam oil to about ¼ of an inch below the top.
- Page 5 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 6 other live steam loco). When the locomotive slows as the pressure falls at the end of a run, stop the engine. If it is the last run of the day, make sure you suck out any remaining condensate. End of Run As previously mentioned, the locomotive will slow (due to pressure dropping) when the fire has gone out.
