Many thanks Phil for your reply,

i’ll check the valve clearances first before I do anything else & that’s a very good point about keeping the taper pins at 1/16 inch so they continue to act as shear pins in case of any further lock ups.

I’ll see if I can post some photos on here of the loco.

cheers, Dae

I have just joined this forum as very keen on 3 1/2 inch steam locos, I inherited my Dads Henley 0-4-0 which I’ve had running a couple of times but having problems with the cylinders hydraulic locking with water & shearing the 1/16 inch steel taper pins that connect the piston rods to the motion link rod. I wonder if 1/16 inch is a bit small? I can’t see any details for these on the original Reeves drawings? Has anyone else encountered these issues with a Henley?

I’m going to fit cylinder drain cocks to alleviate the hydraulic locking
