Minor repairs to the injector of 3664 took longer than expected. Initially it was leaking from where the steam inlet pipe joins the top of the injector. When that was repaired with a new gasket, a joint above the sellers valve also began to leak. Nothing is easy on a steam locomotive!

In the cool of the next morning steam can be seen very clearly blowing through the joint above the sellers valve.

Need the 15F to get closer to completion now. This loco is starting to need some serious attention.
