Second Run

Second run today 2nd June 12, managed to miss the rain. Blower worked a little better but still rather weak, needs a good looking at and maybe larger pipework. Loco ran well for a lap or two, then the front bogie derailed. Will adjust the springs a bit for the next run. Finally the left side motion developed a knock bringing an end to today's events, so back to the workshop for a full inspection.  

29 May 2012.  First run on club track at last, FANTASTIC. Good run, feels like a real workhorse and so much better than an 0-4-0 hunslet, much smoother ride.  Found a leak in the blower pipework and then blew the blast nozzle out and lost same. Consequently the run was terminated for today until I make a new one.
If I sort the problems out I hope to try again on Sunday, weather permitting.
