I see some thumbwheels in your future.
I've found slow speed & gradual pressure increase to work well. I usually use a bit of WD40 on the piece/wheels.

A book...
I've been looking for a copy of this for a few years now, but they kept appearing on second-hand book websites for well north of £100 (there's one on amazon now for £117). Anyway, the saved search on ebay eventually came good and (in true "wait around for ages and two show up at once" spirit), two copies appeared on ebay at the same time, both around the £30 mark. Suffice to say I nabbed one of them straight away.
In case anyone else is interested, the other copy is currently still there: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295887320312

Was out with a friend today. stopped of at a nice place I know.
They have a good burger van in the car park. With his driving I needed a beer.
But In the shop I found a just fresh in box, a quick look told me there was good things inside.
4 bits of brown paper, with Lizzy 2 face on them were swopped.
Yes I kept the clothes.
Yes they fit.
Looking interesting.
Nice small heater.
A quick look showed me the wick was rotten, but the gears work.
Never used this style before, a twin wick unit.
Valor Heater stove. Good wick, all the parts and even a spare gear wheel, unused.
The following items were all loose in the bottom.
The Draper Multi meter needs a new 9v battery.
The square needs a clean and may be new bluing.
The duck is hollow, so not sure what it was for.
No need to say anything.
A few classic di cast toys, a On off switch, laser for a unknown gun, Mad and de magnetizer and a vintage camera timmer.

today I got another model steam engine off ebay, its a Stour Valley Steam Engines twin cylinder double acting oscillating marine engine (for use in toy boats), with a boiler certificate from 1996 and its never been used. I was watching it to copy the photos of the listing, and it started off at £10 or buy it now for £110 (it also had a reserve) I had no intention of buying it, but with about 30 minutes left it was showing bids of less than £30, then I started having a think about it and it was nice little engine and self starting. With a buy it now price of £110 it should have sold days ago, but hadn't. so I thought it would be rude not to buy it, (I think some people would have been waiting till the last minute to try and get it cheap. as part of the paperwork it looks like it was £140 back in 1996, so with hindsight it is a bargain buy. and for scale the base is 15cm long.
So why did I buy it? well not for putting into a model boat, but I do like the mechanisms of old school steam cranes like this one at Thwaite's Mill in Leeds and I wouldn't mind a model one.
it would be a few years before I get round to building one, and if I do, it will be made from Meccano , but most of the mechanism for a crane can be modified from a Meccano Supermodel 19A for the Steam Excavator from the 1920's /1930's.
so this is what it looks like in operation,
but using a single cylinder steam engine means you need to start it manually every time it stops, a self starting steam engine would be so much better.
so its just another project to do in years to come

Be hoped you don't have another "rush of blood" whilst having that laptop on your lap. You can't keep replacing them just cos they've got sticky keys.
