Fearners Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a live steam mallard and this last week have been using it. I then left it for around 2 days and have come back to it today to find that when I steam it up and open the valves its wheels spin a tiny amount before stopping. I then went on to open up completely and it still wouldn't move. I then let it cool down and pushed the locomotive by hand, and in doing so noticed that every wheel rotation the wheels became hard to turn, but I don't know what this means. Please help!

da4472vid Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 sound that something sticking on the wheel set the velve gears not touching is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearners Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 If this is the case do you think that this is a send off job? And if so how much do you think it will cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
