Coal fired conversion kits.

Jerry,

Thanks for posting that link. A new loco is not in my current "Five year plan". I did go and take a peek though, I mean that really isn't cheating is it? (Not a topic I'm gonna bring up at the Snooty Women's table.)

As I was trying to say, I spent a bit of time reading and looking. I gotta tell you, I fell in love with the coal fired Fowler. If I get a chance to see one this year at DH, I'll be a very happy little boy.

Well Kent, you should be a very happy boy this January as the Canada gang usually has a coal fired Fowler that makes several runs around the oval.

That's the one, Tom. That's Jeff Young's locomotive built/modified by John Shawe in the UK.

Yes guys, I will be bringing by Fowler SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) to Diamondhead, along with some Welsh steam coal to burn in her.
