John,
It's mostly that briquettes are messy.
When you break them up smaller to go through the firehole they tend to fall
apart into crumbs which don't burn well and make a mess.
Charcoal soaks up the barbecue fluid better and they stack inside with easy
airspace.

Well, capillarity is OK.
It's what happens when a liquid wets a surface. And wetting means that the
molecules of water and glass attract each other, so that the water climbs a
distance up the glass, only limited by how much weight of water the
"surface tension" force can lift. It varies from one

A couple of years ago, Aster produced an electric feedwater pump to be

Friend of mine had one, worked great. Batteries lasted well.

(2) So as soon as it stops, open the blower valve. This will let outside
air in and kill the vacuum.
(3) If the loco stops on the track, never push it backwards if it is in

to push it forwards.

temperature was no more than boilerwater temperature.

You will need a steam blower nozzle in the smokebox for draught, but that

As to efficiency, this is what current Asters do, gluing thin ceramic

I guess too, that it depends what one wants to build. Since "G scale" is
mentioned, maybe narrow-gauge is the thing, where Roundhouse locos are
preeminent I think, and gas-firing is king, with centre-flues the standard.
So a good look at a Roundhouse loco could be the way to go.

My 24" Darjeeling stuff is 5" wide and 6 1/2" high on Gauge 1 track.
One plus is that vehicle lengths are fairly short so there isn't as much
overhang to the inside of curves.

Richard,
Asters like K4's are quite happy running around 9 feet radius curves, and
will go smaller if steps are taken to widen gauge on the curves.
I have run my 141R (2-8-2) on 7ft6in radius curves quite happily. Please
don't ask me the gauge widening, because I don't recall
ed in camp stoves. Sold in gallon plastic jugs for about
$5.
Cheers,
Peter Trounce,

doesn't prove much, but it looked very nice.
In general, Aster kits are excellent. But still need a bit of care,
particularly to get things lined up nicely and running easily.
I have not seen the Lion run, perhaps Gerry Hyde has ?

Vance,
A small word of advice, if I may.
A good friend of mine had the same procedure and was warned not to do any
lifting etc.
One day he lifted the baby out of its buggy, retina detached again.
Now he's in bad shape.
Some medical advice needs heeding,
Peter Trounce.
