TonyO,
Howdy and welcome to the list. Love your gritty oysters! I don't have said
locomotive but I would wonder if the cylinders are getting enough oil.
Change the plumbing to move the lubricator between the steam valve and the
cylinders and make sure it uses plenty of steam oil. This should improve the
power and allow you to run slower and also solve the "oil in the 'boila' "
problem... I reserve the right to be completly wrong. :_)
