Technical

Hello,

Having seen Live Steam at the NEC in November, I finally took the plunge and bought a Mallard set.

Initially I was able to get the loco to steam and run (although very fast), so decided to make a rolling road so that I could practise my skills with controlling the loco.

I built myself a rolling road and was able to steam the loco - tonight I tried to steam the loco again, however after a few mins the controller went off and the red light in the loco also went off.

I can hear the water in the tender getting hot and some steam coming out of it, however no steam is coming from the loco.

I am not sure if I have done something wrong, but have checked to make sure there is water in the tender (which there is).

There is also a whining noise coming from somewhere when the controller is switched on - I have tried to capture a video below showing what I mean (this was after a few seconds when I tried to steam it again following the initial issue).

Thanks for any help.

Matt
