It wasn't meant to go backwards though.

Good head of steam - did you alter CV's 211/212 - I read the other day these can alter amount of steam produced - especially at standstill?

Yes I did but not by much. Although they now have a tendency to condense and block the chimney, so a bit of fiddling still needed.
I think I will turn it down for general use then crank it up for the grandkids to keep their attention.

Looks a lot better than the old steam.

If I was still in 00 world I might have done so. I did have Synchro smoke in my Triang days or was it early Hornby.

Still time to come back from the dark side.
