The two Roundhouse locos were perfect. The safety valve lifted fully at the right pressure and The pressure didn't rise one jot once they lifted despite the gas being on full. On the older Accucraft loco the safety valve again lifted at exactly the correct pressure (60psi) but the pressure continued to rise despite what appeared to be good "blowing off". We cut the gas when pressure got close to 80 and still rising. In normal running you would never of course leave the gas on full when a loco is blowing off hard but you never know when you might get distracted. The safety valve has been adjusted but we might send it to be refurbished as it only costs £9.
