Hi Geoff,
Had a great run with my "anthracited" Britannia on Dan
Lieberwitz, s large
scale mile oval in Woodside, Ca. today. Air temp. was
down to low 50,s. Great smoke plumes and nice barks climbing his
incline, pulling "your" J&M coaches!.

another point: an outdoor steamup is always very risky due to inclement
weather. I do not remember PA having a dry season in the years I lived there
in my youth.
A little better ventilation at DH wouldn't hurt, but we didn't get
rained/snowed/or frosted on!
Keep your steam up!

Trent,
There was a scintillating discussion in the egroups/One20point3 group about
the various ways to make rivets - es
Thanks Phil,
Wonder if the Irish steamers use peat?? Yvves Guillame is a great coal
firer, and as I recall, he was one of the first (if not the first) to burn
coal in DH, Anyone know if that is correct. Now I wonder what coal he uses.
He is not a "lister" so won't receive this.
Geoff.
HAH!
Phil,
I thought of Labor Day, but was thinking that it might be too much with the
Fall meet going on. 75 to 100 possible attendees to that meet is a lot.
Would the simultaneous running of the different gauges be a problem? Would
one detract from the other? On the flip side, Labor Day would giv
O.K. This may get to be a little long winded. Hopefully, it will clear the
air a bit.
First off , the PA. Live Steamers is a multi-gauge club that sits on
a wonderful 5 acre site near Philadelphia,PA. The club has been in existence
since 1946. Policy at PLS has always been that the club i
HAH! Geoff. I know you better than that. You're way to smart to mess with
something that works and works well. I don't care what you're using. If it
gives you good results, use it.
If what you're using doesn't work or work well than start looking
for other resources. When Mike Moore got
Spring was picked out of thin air folks! No rhyme or reason. Of course
schedules would be checked for potential conflicts. Besides, it was just a
suggestion to Phil that might be of interest to the PLS people. They might
not even want to give it a first or second thought!

Of course I do,
While I personally do not expect to be able to attend
either the proposed PA or St Louis steam-ups because
of work commitments, I strongly support Dave's
suggestion. Live stearmers are still a small group in
the US, as compared to the HO or even garden
railroaders. Let's not fragment our efforts t
Hi Walt,
You are correct. The actual firestarting procedure is with
kerosene soaked charcoal brickets, and as fire and temperature
picks up you start adding keresene soaked coal or anthracite.
Spreading thin even layers over the fire. By watching
Walt,
You have pinned it down. In fact, charcoal soaked in alcohol is typically used
to get a fire started in small-scale steamers, after which the proper coal is put
on. I don't know why wax-impregnated charcoal wouldn't work, too, though
there might be stuff in the combustion byproducts of

Hi,
For all practical purposes, I left PA when I granulated from grad school at
PSU in 1960. Have only been back there for funerals, and the only one left
now is mine.
THEREFORE, I really do not have any idea of where or how to get PA coal. I do
know that most live steamers in the area do not u
