<p><font face="book antiqua,palatino" size="3">I'm having trouble getting a decent speed with my Accucraft Mikado. I don't recall having this problem when I first ran her this Summer (which is a good argument for keeping a record of every run) but I may have been running a lighter consist. The safety valve cuts in at 40 psi, and a visual inspection indicates no binding of the rear and front trucks.</font></p><p><font face="Book Antiqua" size="3">Anyone else have this problem and, if so, what do you suggest? I'm thinking of adjusting the safety valve to 55 psi, but I may have missed something else that other's have encountered with this engine.</font></p><p><font face="Book Antiqua" size="3"></font></p>
