Restoring an old friend, my Mantua Pacific
#12
You're probably aware of it, but the valve gear, at least that on the visible side of the loco in your photo, needs to be adjusted: the eccentric crank on the main (middle) drive should have its outboard end pointing towards the counterbalance weight which is cast as part of the driver's centre. The one on the other side of the loco should line up in the same manner, pointing towards its respective counterweight.
