3 forum posts	Hello all, can any one help on how to time the valve events on the Marcher 2 cyl parallel vertical slide valve steam engine, please. This is one of several unfinished projects, and at 69 , although the Doctor has not advised me not to download any long computer programs or buy long playing records, time seems suddenly short. All replies gratefully acknowledged Dave
