Pete. Thanks for the addresses on burners. Interesting stuff. I have had the same experience you have had with the double flue engine owners and do not know of one owner who is not happy. It is interesting to note that without exception the complaints have been received from persons who do not own a twin flue engine. The only problems I have found have been dirty jets, mostly from using a cheap supermarket gas, or turning the flame down too far. When the gas has been turned down too low one burner is starved of gas and no longer burns. After this has been made clear to the owner, it is fun all the way. C-21's and K-27's run on one filling of gas and water for up to 55 minutes with a full 30kg+ train behind them. So we have no Goodall and no axle pumps to allow the other guys to have a run as well. Last year at Sinsheim Germany a K-27 ran for an hour and 14 minutes with 8 stock cars and a caboose behind it on one filling running at the sedate low speeds just like the prototypes. When I read of "improvements" I think "customising" may have been a better choice of wording. My K-27 is "Customised"!! as is my C-16. Our C-21 steam oil drain is located on the firemans side via brass tube and ball valve. This may be an improvement?
Thanks again for the link to some interesting reading.
