Fix for Royal Scot/Patriot valve gear

[ColinB]

I don't know if this is much use to people, but I wondered why all the Royal Scots I buy have broken generally have bent or broken valve gear. On my Royal Scot where I had recently changed the rotting chassis for a new one I found that the valve gear kept getting jammed. Anyway I eventually tracked it to the fact the valve gear is not supported properly. Now it may be that because I used second hand parts the slot the valve support fits into was slightly bigger than the valve gear boss, but as the train moves the valve gear can drop causing it to cause all sorts of issues and jam. Now I could have superglued them in but a simpler solution was to just support them from the top using wire, in my case garden plant wire. It works a dream.
