Hi all, can anyone help with running a rocket loco. Mine hasn't been run in a very long time. valves were seized but managed to use a little gentle pursuasion to free them. However, im using the correct water amount etc, when bringging up to steam, I think water is passing through the valves, into the cylinders and basically, coming out of everywhere. Lots of oil on the components, steam oil in the cylinder reservoirs........is this normal??
