Flying Scotsman - Cutting out before all water is used?

Hi all,


I've seena Flying Scotsman advertised at what seems a reasonable price, if it can be fixed. The problem is described as:


'Loco is working but does have an issue with low water sensor, which shuts the boilers heater off - Bringing the loco to a stand with 1/2 a syringe of water left.'


Is this an issue anyone else has had? Is there such a sensor, and is it a replaceable part? I had a look in the club shop but couldn't see any sensors.


It's a good price, but only if I can fix it for not too much money...

Thanks for any help.

Well done ! Thanks for reporting here.

The white greasy stuff between boiler and thermal switch is thermal heatsink paste.
