I am going to get my live steam Flying Scotsman up an running after many years in the box. The wheels do turn - reluctantly. Any tips on what I should do before steaming it up?
Did you have any luck?
Mine is behaving exactly the same. I have no power but everything seems to be working as it should. I'm even getting steam 'puffs' at the chimney while i'm turning the wheels suggesting it's going through the pistons and everything...?
Sorry to hijack this but does anyone have any suggestions? It doesn't seem to leak anywhere, although there's no whistle really but steam seems to be coming out of the correct places!
