Locomotion Steam Railbus - Getting it going ...

Hello

I am new here, so please forgive me if I have posted to the wrong sub-forum.

I have been passed a Locomotion Steam Railbus from a relative and am looking to get it working - it probably hasn't been steamed for many years.

There are no instructions, so does anyone know where I can get these - I'd like to confirm that it works and I really have no idea about steaming this!

It does have radio control servos, but there's no transmitter. Given that I will at some point be selling this (since my interest is O Gauge) should I get the RC side of this working, or would most people not bother about RC on this?

Thanks

Ok so you will need some Steam Oil, a Can of Butane Gas (Halfords sell this) and some wtare. Do not use Tap Water if you are in a hard water area for a test some soft water will be fine but not forever. So Steam Oil will go into a small reservoir which should be drained first. Water in the Boiler than gas into another tank that have a small valve that ought to have been with the loco. You may be able to get it going when steam preasure is blowing off which should read 40psi on the pressure gauge. If the pressure gets above this and the pressure valve does not blow off to keep the preasure at around 40psi turn off the fire and you may need to think about seeing someone to give more advice. Look for perhaps the local 16mm group if there is one near you and you ought to get some help from them.

As for the RC, depends on what you are looking for as without an interested fiddler may find it of interest but you may need to replace the Radio Receiver, simple enough if you get a full set which ought to cost nit much more than £30. But if it is a problem for you to get going you may be better off just moving it on anyway.

Pity you live so far away, down here I could have put you in touch with some of the right guys.
 
Try the 16mm Association, there's a couple of groups in Scotland. You'll get all the advice you need and if your local, maybe somewhere to test it.
