Did some engine swapping with a good friend for this old DRGW C16 with the knowledge she was a non runner with timing and massive blow by issues in the cylinders. I stripped her to just the chassis, reset timing on both cylinders(only one side was out), pulled the leaking cylinder covers off along with the pistons. Both pistons had flat and rock hard O rings, so I replaced those with red ones from a Roundhouse cylinder rebuild kit. After reassembly, the chassis ran smooth on air. The exhaust pipe threads were stripped out. So I silver soldered a fitting in place, then refitted the exhaust pipe after making a home brew chuff pipe on the top of it(I hate a slobber stack engine but at the same time, dont like the higher pitch/cost of the Summerlands chuffers). I got the chuffer just right on the first try!. Once the boiler was reinstalled, she ran under steam as we can see in my video. Now to get some proper scale cars for her to pull. Mike
