Re: pancakes
Thanks, but I'm more of a firebox "brats and oinions" guy myself. gotcha bruce, i would be a little skeptical myself as far as flavor from the coal fire. i mean i did have hotdogs cooked in the firebox of a steamboat once. and the boiler on the boat was wood fired. and i don't recall tast...

Re: Norfolk Western Y6B live steam First Run
hard to know how much 1309 is really being worked. from everything I've heard, it's a bit rough mechanically but who knows. I wish them the best with it, I think it's currently down with some cylinder issues. But if you had it on 50 hoppers, likely louder than how it's run on WMSR. kinda like UP wi...

Re: fuel topic
bill shields, everyone at NJLS always to this day still busts my chops about making coal dust bricks. but it's too much work. just sifting the dust out and blending anthracite to keep the smoke down is enough work.

Re: fuel topic
welsh is great, well too good actually. but it just didn't have that good sulphur smell to it. Hmmm. Maybe I'm missing something, but I''m having a hard time thinking that it's sulfur smell that you're missing. I grew up in a smelter town (Midvale, Utah) where sulfur dioxide was emitted by the ton ...

being a compound, probably very quiet stack talk. The high pressure cylinders can't really be heard, then they are feeding the low pressure cylinders. so the exhaust pressure hitting the exhaust stand is way less on that than simple articulated or certainly traditional non articulated like a LE 4-8...

Re: fuel topic
The problem that we have with the smaller fireboxes is that just getting the currently available coal to burn is a never ending problem. I hear my house with coal, and living on the edge of Amish communities, getting coal is not a problem. However the clinkers and slate that come with it, while man...
