After watching the Japanese video and reading Ripleys Thread I would agree that it sure looks like you may be putting in too much water. Did you see what Ripley said and what the Japanese fellow had to do to see the light with one pump? If you ask me, this is way to complicated and the old way seems a whole lot easier.

Quote:Where I went wrong.. so with Thomas at the pond I tried to fill him up but sliding the lever to the cup to put in the water, which it did, but wayyyyy to much. It basically flooded Thomas. So I ended up trying the get most all of the water out and waited a bit. Finally I left the lever in the train position. Now when you press down is the tower it will put only a drop or two in and it lights and steams
