Hi just wondering if any one has a similar problem with Safety Valves like i am having on my 5" Black 5 i am using bought 12 express type boiler inspector set them to 90 psi but they don't close till it drops to 55 then have to start building steam again. I have cleaned out inside make sure no crud in them. all look good they are fairly new as Loco hardly been run since i built it but after endless problems not been running. I have tried to find out about fitting stronger safety valve springs i know they need to be stainless. I am inexperienced and still learning. I have a lot of Help from Julian Atkins but feel i am putting on him and feeling guilty he is going to do my two injectors that did not work bought ones again but he is so busy trying to sort this if i can but don't know how to get hold of correct springs. Can any one point me in the right direction please.

Well decided to buy two from B P steam had work done by him befor his blow of from 90 and only drop a couple psi.

Running at Southport on 24 and 25 so really would love a weekends running hopefully without too many problems.

fingers crossed

Fingers crossed be nice to really have a good run.

I have ran it before but so many problems with injectors axle pump if it could go wrong it did.

I think i need to buy a spare injector as a back up but so worried about buying another that does not work.
