Last Autumn a/o Winter issues of the G1MRA Newsletter had great articles
about various iterations of G1 boilers over the years including gas and
ceramic fired boilers. Showed schematics of at least a dozen boilers with
an accompanying chart of sizes, heating surfaces, firing characteristics and

hobby.
Sooo... Reguarding my previous questions about building my own boiler...
Might this be a viable alternative to a locomotive boiler? I still have
design info and prelim drawings from conversations with Mike but if this
would be simpler for a first timer... I can always make another boiler for
I would assume that these are alcohol/coal fired designs based upon the
proclivity of the people on the island west of France. :-)
