The designer of the Ruby's running gear says: "This is done the same way the reversing valve is set. You move the wheels so the rods are at top center (either side). Then adjust the valve so the adjustment groove is just touching the valve block. Then tighten the set screw and it should be just fine." regards, -vance- Vance Bass Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Small-scale live steam resources: http://www.nmia.com/~vrbass
