DJB Coal Fired "Robert"

[jabsteam]

Anyone own, or have any experience with DJB's coal fired Robert engine?
How difficult to build, and how does it run?
Thanks for any info!

Well, I haven't got one, but I do have Paul's (DJB) Ragleth. And I can say that a) it's brilliant, and b) it's brilliant. Go for it!

You really can't go wrong. Quality product,
so take the plunge, you wont be sorry.

Hello Jim,
Welcome to the forum. I know someone who has just finished, or is just about to finish, a 'Robert', and I've invited him to join the forum (if he's not already a member) to share his experience with us. I converted a gas fired Accucraft 'Edrig' using a DJB kit and I've been very pleased with the results. Clear instructions, good quality components, and a sound basis for an excellent coal fired loco. The Robert is also very popular and being based on Roundhouse running gear I can't imagine you would go wrong with it.
