Safety first

All our locomotives are safe to run, and will give many hours of pleasure,
providing the following safety procedures are followed:

1. Please read the instructions thoroughly before running fort he first
time.

2. Always do a complete refill of gas, oil and water. Never refill just
the gas to prolong the run.

3. Never let the engine run out of water.

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

5. Do not pickup 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 cloves or a cloth.

7. Do not stand over the chimney. Ejected boiling water or steam may
cause serious injury.

8. Do not open the smoke box door while the engine is alight.

9. If the locomotive gets slower and finally stops the gas is all. Please
close the gas and steam regulator.

10. If the locomotive comes to an aprupt halt, the water is all. Please
close immediatly the gas supply, otherwise you will risk a boiler
overheating.

11. This live steam model is not a toy and does not belong in reach of
children under 14 years. Adults should exercise particular caution
in steam-operation in the presence of children.

Generell Hints

As with all operating machinery, whether model or full size, wear will
occur. In the model steam locomotive much can be done 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. The valve gear, axles and crank pins should be oiled
sparingly with light oil, e.g. our special lubrication oil. Over-oiling attracts
dirt and grit, which will increase wear.

Regularly check that all screws and motion bolts are firm. Do not over­tighten, as this strips threads and shares bolts.

When filling the lubricator, always use a high temperate steam oil; this is
available from us or other retailers. Failure to use the correct grade of oil
can lead to blocked steam pipes, and will invalidate the guarantee.

When running your engine avoid excessive speed and acceleration, both
will cause premature wear in the valve gear. Prototypically, narrow
gauge locomotives ran at speed of between 10 and 20 M.P.H. and never
exceeded 25 M.P.H.

Positions of Fillers and Drains etc.

The cab roof lifts up and tilts to the right hand side to give access to all
fillers.

The gas inlet valve is in front near side corner of the cab, at the top of the
gas tank turret. The gas control valve is attached to this turret, and can
be operated through the nearside cab doorway or open backside.

The lubricator is in the offside front of the cab, just forward of the
doorway and reverse lever. The filler cap has a “T” bar in it to aid
removal. The lubricator drain is directly beneath the lubricator. To drain,
open the ball valve downwards.

The boiler water filler is on top of the steam turret on the boiler in the
middle of the cab. Undo the knurled cap to fill with water.

The main steam regulator valve is located on the rear of the boiler-filling
turret and can be controlled through to open backside of the cab.

The water gauge is on the backside of the boiler in the middle of the cab
near the burner.

The cylinders have drain cocks. To open them please bring the levers in
vertical position, to close them in horizontal position. Be careful when
you like to drive with open cylinder drain cocks. They can touch the rails
and your loco will de-rail !

The direction control is the lever in the offside cab door. To operate pull
gently outwards and move to the desired direction. The control is “gated”,
and will therefore hold itself in the full forward or reverse position.
