Good afternoon everyone,
I am new to this forum and I hope someone will be able to help me. I have an Accucraft Countess locomotive which unfortunately took a tumble before I acquired it. On inspection I found the crank pin (middle wheel) to which the valve linkage is attached was bent as was a connecting rod. After straightening the pin and rod I tested the locomotive. The loco attempts to run forward or reverse but the wheels will not complete one full revolution. I suspect the valve timing has been thrown out of sync because of the fall.
Would anyone on this forum have a diagram of how the valves should be timed or have photos/images of a Countess from both sides and underneath that I could check with my locomotive?
Looking forward to your responses.
John
