   I am finding that the Manor class is an incredibly poor steamer! I acutally have real world experience of driving steam in preservation in New Zealand, alth0ough many years ago. I cannot get her to hold boiler pressure, any suggestions?

	Historically the MANORS were poor steamers until fixed with an upgrade to their draughting in early BR years
