I own one of these lil tea kettles. It is a sweet engine and its a joy to run. Mine has all the same quirks as yours.

I run my two 2-6-0s and FWRR engine in the same way when starting up. Warm them up, open the smokebox door and open the throttle for the engine to begin its run with the door open, clearing the condensate, once its run a few feet, close the door and you have no issues with burners going out. The moguls are a really steady lil loco, which I've found to be perfect for my RR. I have 4% grades and some sharper curves, yet I can run these without RC and still set the throttle and let them run, loads of power at slow speed. I think they're superb for the $$.
Sometme next year we should see the first D&RG version and RGS #11 paint jobs for the mogul. The D&RG version 'Poncha' is very decorative, much like their Col. Boone 4-4-0, while the RGS #11 is plain black with Russia Iron boiler and a big '11' on the tender. Both with Diamond stacks. I dont need another mogul, but boy I like these! Ordered the D&RG version! I believe these new ones have some upgrades including water glass.

I can't get mine any larger than the picture on my first posting otherwise it is blocked
Trevor,
It looks as if you are adding pictures via the editor using the 3 boxes at the bottom of the 'compose post' screen. Yes, they are very restrictive, and the size limit is a bit arbitrary - it wouldn't accept my pic that my computer says is only 80K.
The solution is to find somewhere to up-load them first - and then post the link to the pic, like this:
[*img]http://gold.mylargescale.com/petethornton/photos/Misc2008/1102452064871.jpg[*/img]
Without the "*", we get this: (your pic, 'save'-d and doubled in size, then uploaded to my MLS Gold space.)

"Somewhere" might be the storage space that your internet provider offers as part of your access deal - comcast.net gives me about 3GB and I put temporary web pages there; e.g. 'for sale' items. Other places include the free photo sites, such as google/picasa, which let you save a photo and then link to it.
Of course, the BEST place to upload your photos is the MyLargeScale.com Gold member space. Someone has to pay Shad to keep this site going...
And try this MLS Thread on Posting Pictures.
Finally, if you want to post a really gorgeous pict and don't want to be limited to 640x480 (forum limit) then you post the URL of the stored pic, like this:

or, without the "*" so the link works: Accucraft DSP&P 2-8-0.
