Had so many problems building a lot of my own as a new to model engineering.

Had so many problems to many to list but last one was faulty clack valves.

Took me ages to find the problem but then the batch they had ran out and been waiting weeks for replacement's.

Steamed without Tender today they now seal thank you for the loan of one till i get my new one back.

Just hoping that injectors work ok now the rest has been fixed.

hope to try it wed at club if it does not rain !!!!!

Thank you it failed again through my piping i have the clack valves on side of boiler the injectors would not pick up at all. i have now started re piping the whole thing i and putting a clack valve in front of Injector also one from axle pump on delivery pipe and one on axle pump as pipe was red hot and guys at club think this might be the problem.

I have decided that i will only use one injector as they say to many different feeds makes load more problems.

Hoping this will finally be the last thing to sort if it was not for the Injector not working everything else looked fine (i hope)

Hard luck Ron. On the flip side you're going to be pretty experienced by the time you get that puppy steaming.
