So I have a new (to me) Frank S. It's in great condition (thanks Bob M.), and I been having a fantastic time with it. I've studied Kevin O'Connor's "Getting Started with Frank S. " posted on Southern Steam Trains website.
My questions are these: What is the average run time I should expect from this loco. I've been able to run about two boiler fills with one fuel fill (it runs great with the fire down low and the pressure between 1.5 and 2). Is there an alternative source for a goodall valve for the Frank S? I talked to Tom at Sulphur Springs and he has none in stock, but is planning to make some with the new equipment he has acquired, however he can not give me an estimate on delivery. Thanks, Dave O.
