Thanks
Must admit from where I'm standing all I can ever hear is the growl of gears!

...and the bloomin' hiss of the drain cocks! Grrr
A winter job me'thinks, as they need serious attention - not just a little lapping to get them steam tight again!

The last couple of years steaming it out on the road I've virtually always single-manned - I think the furthest has been just under 30 miles. For various reasons I tend to prefer doing it that way on the roller.

Now if only I could work out why the blessed thing refuses to keep pressure above about 60 or 70psi I could be a happy bunny again - steaming performance never used to be a problem! ...perhaps I've lost my touch after 2 years off the road with it?! Lol.
