Double Headed Coal Firing in the Garden

Two Sabre Steam coal fired Roundhouse conversions overhauled into running condition by loco builder John Campbell running on my garden railway.Both locos are run light engine, then with a train of cattle wagons - and finally double headed.

Marvelous layout and video and just what Sabre Steam loco owners need to see. I do have a couple questions: 1) your coal recipe shows more than just anthracite and the plume is beautiful. Please describe your recipe, and 2) do you have a summary of what work was done? Maybe G Scale Central would be the best place for a respone. Regards, Will

Thanks Will

We added ordinary bituminous domestic house coal to get the plume - but they did run better on the proper steam coal/'anthracite as originally supplied by Sabre.

John Campbell made the improvements to the locos - I think there are contact details on G Scale central. I just supplied the railway and did the filming :-)
