Whistle going all the time

Help  can anyone advise me how to adjust the steam valve. Do you slacken the small grub screw and twist till it stops whistling, as I'm losing all my power nothing will move.

Is the green light on?

No,no lights at all just whistles when it starts to make steam.

Any dirt trapped in the valve? (reading the Hornby FAQ here) What you really need is Tom.

Sorry Ian, I can't help.    I've never had that problem.  I personally wouldn't adjust anything under the body, just clean contacts and tighten any loose screws.
It's often been mentioned on the big H site that they are very good and cheap for repairs, so worth calling or e-mailing their Cust Service.
