Hi Everyone,
Wondering if anyone around here had any experience with setting the timing on an old slip eccentric loco? I have an old Roundhouse Lady Anne that is running very poorly. I've checked the quartering of the wheels and I'm pretty sure that's all good.
My next thought was that the valve timing might be out? Had a look over the instructions on the Roundhouse website (for a modern Lady Anne) so I'm sort of familiar with how I need to go about it. Nothing there for Eccentrics though. My thinking was the I would just (somehow) loosen the cams on the axle and rotate them until the valves were correct?

Many thanks for the help,
Ricky
