Bent valve gear on Flying Scotsman

Recommended Posts

I received my new Flying Scotsman loco yesterday and opened the box this morning.


The valve gear was bent on both sides. One side stuck out at about 15 degrees!


I already have Blink Bonny, and it runs well, so I have a pattern for an attempt at correcting this, but has anybody had the same fault? And has anybody had components of the valve gear snapping as a result of trying to bend it into place?
