My Hunslet has come back from Accucraft 5 issues have been fixed. New longer adjustable piston rods, longer pistons with 2 rings have been fitted, this is to cure the blow by issue. The other problems were minor and included loose smoke box door and bent parts. Full marks to Accucraft for the quick response and repairs.
I bought and paid for one and before I got it told the dealer to send it back to Accucraft. I might eventually see it one day.

Hi to all my viewers, the loco is going back to Accucraft on Tuesday to fix the timing, oil, and loose smokebox door and chimney, under warranty!!!
How about squeezing the steam oil pipe thinner with a pair of pliers? That should slow the flow of steam oil.
A restrictive piece of wire shoved it the pipe may be less destructive.
