Thanks Jim,
I appreciate the information, I'll check next time I steam if I have
anymore problems. I think it was the ambient temp and the fact that I
hurried too much, it did end up running well. The time before when it was
a reasonably warm day it ran very well immediately I also have just fou

It's a misunderstanding. My rack RR is not steam. It's an LGB 4046

Gary,

Incidentally, when I do spark sparkies, it is at club members' railways
whose track is powered. I can't steam unless the power is turned off or I
cut the leads to the track! I always carry wire cutters as all steamers
should.

Don Arthur,
Thankyou-- more info to help me--butane is a difficult job compared to
the relative simplicity and realism of alcohol. However I love my RH
Darjeeling B class and I want it running well. This wonderful list is
helping me do that.

I think he definitely needs to be seen by a specialist then. This
calls for a full all-round poking, prodding, and sticking.

There are several factors that have to be considered when Iso butane or
straight butane is used . If the ambient temperatures is below 60 straight
butane does not work very well unless there is a heat source to warm it up .
If the fuel tank is close to the boiler
you can pour hot water over it un

I am informed! I think! My problem is with the R.H Class B Darjeeling. It
performed very well with Glowmaster Isobutane #01220 (from Korea) but the
local supplier now furnishes the can with an unthreaded connection so I
can't use my adapter. The 70/30% I located is

Steve,
Thanks, it certainly was a pleasure to meet you too. Hope you can make it
next year also.
Now a question for one and all--Is it advisable to use a mixture 70%
butane 30% propane for our gas fired 16mm locos such as Roundhouse. This
has been discussed on the list but I have forgotten!
better yet, keep them between the rails!
Keep your steam up!

Hopefully it will grow. When I acquired my first live steamer I was the
