Although the Sandringham event was not the first outing for my engine, it was the largest event. The engine performed very well except for a couple of issues which have been present since I acquired it. Namely the safety valves which refuse to shut off until down to around 30psi and the feed water becoming hot which of course upsets the injector.

These are winter jobs when I will change the safety valves for pop valves and rig up a remote water supply to the injector so it is drinking cold water. Oh yes and I have no output from the dynamo. It is ever thus with steam.
