Coal Fired Saddle Tank

[main131]

The attraction of coal firing, is not only the smell of the fire, but having the satisfaction of knowing that steam dependancy for engine movement is entirely the results of your own skills.
The balance of coal, water and drafting is achieved with practice plus an engine with good pedigree and a skilled builder.!

That's it. I'm converted.

My next loco will just have to be coal fired.

(It won't of course, because I can't afford one, but I can hope! )
