The list seems quiet this week, so I'll post a little update and a question.
I've been working on the C-16 valve issues and have finally been able to get it to run fairly smoothly on air up on blocks. I switch to steam and it still runs just as good maybe even better due to the expansion of the steam. On the track however, in forward, it seems a little anemic, in reverse the loco runs like a screaming banshee. This is also how it runs on my bench up on blocks. In reverse like a sewing machine, smooth and fast, forward is more like a well oiled belt-fed machine gun. A friend suggested reversing the eccentrics, which might work and I will try it, but I'm wondering if anyone has other suggestions.
