Hello!
My Accucraft Edrig type named "Sir geraint" arrived one month ago from the GB and looks as if he was new. Price was fair so I bought it, despite lack of a cab roof (but I intend to construct one myself). This is my first attempt in live steam. I printed out an user manual from Accucraft before steaming up the first time. The problem is that I can't get enough gas in the tank. In the first test run some weeks ago I had to fill the tank several times to get enough pressure to test it in a bench as well as little on my tracks. The second run last weekend was a disaster. Every time the manometer began to show steam pressure the gas tank was empty. I use an ordinary gaslighter can with a short plastic adapter or nipple, that come with it together with others who don't fit. Shall I buy myself another adapter? I have seen some longer ones in brass on the net but they seem to be intended for canisters for other makes such as Roundhouse?
