Tony,
In my experience when the water runs out in an alcohol-fired loco, the fire
usually keeps going at a low rate, and is not easy to blow out,
particularly if the supply valve is still open.
I'm talking locos with wicks in an enclosed firebox (pot boilers are
something else).
The problem then
Peter,
If you want to go the cheap er frugal and time consuming way, I've
got back issues of Steam in the Garden magazine from last year, that
have a number of 'tweaks' for the project loco. I could copy and post
the water gauge part to you. Or I'll just get the numbers and send
them, then you
I would be interested in the back issue numbers of SITG which
address the BAGRS loco.
Thanks

All this gauge/scale stuff gets pretty boring.

Everyone has his/her opinion and I don't think anyone has ever changed

Right Jim--and Clark,
Even with a boiler type requiring a draught, if the design is such that the
flame also contacts the boiler and there is a stiff breeze across the
stack it will create a vacuum in the smoke box that will draw the fire
to some degree and keep it burning "brightly" which

Dave, It appears you haven't been to or used egroups.
Bruce,
I _have_ used egroups a lot -- I'm on eight or ten other lists through them, and
that's why I asked the question. I understand what egroups can do for me
(and to me), and don't see a burning need for another parallel list.
