Test
running. |
4.51 |
First
run for 6 months and also the first time the Feldbahn has run on my new
society track (Andover & District Model Engineering Society).
Safety valve refused to lift even when the gauge showed
almost
160 psi requiring rectification (descaling) before running could
commence. Injectors also not working as well as they had
been.
Perhaps things have scaled up as a result of the loco being
stored (dry) for 6 months. Vacuum ejector from PNP Railways
seems
to be working nicely and uses much less steam than the ejector supplied
by Station Road Steam. |

Passenger
running for Amners Farm Railway (farm lambing weekend).
Carriage
brakes still dragging when carriage loaded but not as bad after some
rectification work. Feldbahn worked excessively hard all day
pulling trains that would not even roll down 1 in 50 descents, but no
problems all day. |

Boiler
tests & playing |
2.3 |
First
"Club" boiler tests required as the delivery certification had run out
almost 2 months ago (illness meant that the loco has been unused for a
while). Both Hydraulic and steam tests passed OK and the
engine
was then taken onto the track with its two new wagons. Please
see
the photo gallery page for pictures of the new pipe truck (Passenger
truck) and
guards van . |
