Well, I found a live steam Allegheny. On the way, little used. Does anyone out there own one of these, or have experience operating one? Wondering if green velvet iso320 is appropriate for this thing. Does lower steam pressure affect the characteristics of the heavier steam oil? Thanks, Mike.
You should be contacting the Bendarks, and also the MLS or LSC live steam forums have more experience with big live steamers.

I have used Green Velvet for all of engines from new, excluding the Roundhouse engines. Green Velvet is what I would recommend, it doesn't coke up in the superheater tube in the flue.
