It won't draw the fire properly, if anyone can, please correct me on how well occsilators draw the fire, you'd always have the blower on.

Dont see why an oscillator would not draw a fire same as any other loco provided the steam exhausts into the smoke box and up the chimney should be fine.

I was thinking perhaps it would not be strong enough?

Yeah osscillators don't chuff strongly do they, which would mean there would be enough draught crated to keep the fire going

The Accucraft cylinders on the Ruby are the same bore and stroke as the Mamod upgrade cylinders though, wonders what the difference would be?

Would have thought it would be easier with an internally fired loco
