Cylinder packing on the front engine needs attention also.
Is the 734 being rebuit? Date: 04/27/26 11:37 Re: 1309 Sunday April 26 , 2026 Author: bmoore765 Yeah, that sounds really bad. I've yet to hear a video of that locomotive with a nice square exhaust. Even on a good day it always sounds more like a single expansion articulated than a compound. Maybe that's just the nature of that particular design?
