THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT FILMING A SETUP OF AN ENGINE, HOPE IT HELPS YOU IN RUNNING A LIVE STEAM ENGINE. BILL IS PROBSBY THE MOSY CONSISTENT RUNNER OF LIVE STEAM YHAT I KNOW.

Very interesting. Have never seen a coal fired one, but had read about them in SitG. Firing my gas powered live steamers is enough work, don't think I'd want to go through all of that! Neat to watch though, and quite informative.

Can someone help me out please! I couldn't quite hear the time it took to raise steam - was it 4 or 42 or 24 minutes???

PAULI IT WAS A LITTLE OVER TWO -[2] MINUTES. IT WAS 75 DEGREES WARM HERE BUT IT REALLY FIRED UP QUICKLY. WE HAVE SOME GOOD COAL FIRING PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP.
