refill with gas alone in order to lengthen the
run by a few minutes. When the gas runs out
a complete gas, oil and water service must
be done (remember GOW, also remember
to shut the gas regulator before refilling,
and DO NOT refill with gas near any other
live steam loco). When locomotive slows as
the pressure falls at the end of a run, stop
the engine. Gently open the lubricator valve
and blow out any condensed water. If you
intend to continue running, close the drain
when you see oil coming out of it and carry
out a general refill. If it is the last run of the
day, leave the lubricator drain valve open
and blow the lubricator completely clean.
POSITIONS OF FILLERS AND DRAINS ETC.:
The cab roof tilts up to give access to all fillers.
The gas tank is in the tender. Once the
tank is charged you must put a water bath
around the tank to keep the tank from
freezing. This keeps the gas pressure up!
The lubricator is in the left rear corner of the
cab. The lubricator drain is directly beneath the
lubricator. To drain, un-screw the drain valve
through about one full and remove the cap turn.
The boiler water filler is on the top of the steam
turret on the boiler in the middle of the cab.
Undo the knurled cap to fill with distilled water.
The main steam regulator valve is the wheel
valve on the rear of the boiler-filling turret.
The direction control is lever in the right
side cab door. To operate, pull gently out-
wards and move to the desired direction.
The control is "gated", and will therefore hold
itself in the full forward or reverse position.
