What coal !!!!

[Nigel HydeParticipant @nigelhyde97004]

Hi can anybody out there help?

I have been trying to steam a simplex today and having real problems with the coal.

It used to fire well and now with a new boiler cert it won’t hold the fire

so what type of coal is best to use? i am not sure what type i am using but i know its not welsh steam coal

i have been told that Anthracite beans is best, is this true?

 

thanks

Hi Nigel, Your correct anthracite bean size coals are best for your loco try signal fuels who sell welsh steam coal in bean sizes amongst others. They are usually at most model engineer shows.
