RH Lady Anne chassis tightness
If the loco does not stall in a certain position then valve timing is not an issue?
Depends what you mean by tight? Where does it tighten in relation to crank position? Does it tighten in both forward and reverse?
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

The tightness can be felt with the loco not in steam on my table, it seems to be at this position both in forward and reverse:
Although it's fairly new it's been air tested and run in steam for a number of hours.
The resistance is only slight but you notice it when you shut off steam and the loco does not come to a smooth stop.

Probably the coupling rod on the other side. Put at the tight spot and try and wiggle all of the rods. They won't move much but the one that won't wiggle could be the culprit.
