    Slow and steady works in lots of setting but , out on the road , slow and big are better than slow and small .lol

      You might be surprised at what is allowed, but you will have to usually jump through a lot of hoops and such to get it on the road. Don't expect much help from the DMV either.

    how much water coal and steam engine oil did the 15 mile trip take to do please?

    • @SteamOTR

      I used about a bag of coal - 25kgs. No idea how much oil, but it's very little. Certainly less than 100ml.

      Not entirely sure on water as I didn't measure it, but probably 150 litres. She take about an hour or so to get to pressure from cold.

      Yeah, been looking at that. Only trouble is that I'll need to repaint the wheels and get them relined. Best way to go undoubtedly, but also expensive.
