Another Accucraft effort, this time designed by Ian Pierce.  Aside from a 
rather noisy burner, there've been good reports of it on the 16mm list.

There's also another live steam loco named "Excelsior" on the UK market 
right now.  Poor timing, it seems.  If I remember correctly, it's a Finescale 
SM32 loco, but I'll have to check again if anyone wants particulars.

Alcohol-fired locos have no problem at all running in cold, even very cold,

Right you are it is butane fired.  And speaking of steam.  Looking at the
ads
in the new GR St.Aubin Station has listed under live steam an Excelsior
0-4-2, what is it???   Second question is Butane is a poor performer in cold
weather so I am told.  Am I correct in my assumption that this is not the
case with "Meth" fired locos,  that they run ok in cold weather.
