I recently found a NZ supplier of Welsh Steam Coal, and was delighted with the quality and results in the Quarry Hunslet. As soon as the coal arrived a quick steam-up was had. This method of fire lighting and steam raising works well with my loco, my suction fan is puny but charcoal lights so easily. Watch as I place the first ever teaspoonful of anthracite grains on to the fire. Tom will be pleased that the loco smells like a proper loco now
