Does anyone out there own and operate an Aster King George V. I acquired
one recently and am struggling to get it to perform well enough to pull
a rake of six GWR coaches reliably. She comes up to steam quickly but
the regulator (which feels "spongy") needs to opened fairly wide to get
any pulling power with the result that steam use is high. I've checked
for leaks and there seem to be none. I've also checked the timing which
also looks fine.

 

When she runs well, she looks good - in this video she was pulling a
rake of BR "Blood and Custard" coaches.

Any hints or tips would be much appreciated.
