We finally did it. Changing the gasket stopped the steam leaks and on the second fire-up we got it running! The valve adjustments were nearly perfect and it sounds are great! There are some minor steam leaks and one axel box is running a bit warm, but making some test driving and tuning should fix it.
I added some more information on our web pages and if you want to watch it runing check out the following films (they take quite long to download, the first is 7MB and the second 3.5M
