Stirling regulator stuck

[Michael CallaghanParticipant @michaelcallaghan68621]

Hi, can anyone help here. The regulator is completely stuck on my Stirling. Unlike other locomotives I can’t see much by looking inside the boiler from the dome. So is there a way of freeing the regulator without taking it all apart. Thanks

Could be that the regulator was left shut when last used, try filling boiler with boiling water and that the expansion might free it. Worked once for me. I always make sure that the reg and all valves are open when cooling.Good luck.
