pressure was soon up and she chuffed slowly round
ten I decided to add a wagon of coal behind her so I used my hand to just hold her still while I hooked the wagon up, but in the few short seconds it took me to do this the pressure in the boiler rocketed and as soon as I let her go she flew off and before I could catch her she had left the track at castle curve
quickly got her back on the track luckily the new valve gear wasnt damaged but the paintwork took 1 hell of a beating :-|
it coud be worse I suppose....
the cylinder took most of the impact
oh well these are the risks we take running our trains outside....
