[modeleng] Re: **SPAM: Re: Western Region valve gear

Hi,

Tubes from the drain cocks is about the most reliable way of setting it up 
Stephensons gear. There should just be the first whisp as the piston goes 
past TDC or BDC.
The other trick is to drill holes in the excentrics so that you can get at 
the grub screws without taking the straps off. You can then loosen of the 
excentrics using an Allen key and move then around to get the best timing.

Regards

Clif
