I'd love to have an o-guage live loco some day....I've
got loads of track and would like to see it running next
to my electric MARX layout.
As to your powerhouse burner...Could you dilute the
fuel to lower the flame output to a reasonable level?
That's what I do if a burner is too powerful. Try it.

I did try watering down the Denatured alcohol. I need to find a proper balance, and I think im gonna rewick. I read that 0000 steel wool works great as a wick and im considering for small one. Problem is it is difficult to light/prime and goes out.
do u have a denatured alcohol / water ratio u could suggests? I figure its about 95/5.
Are you or anyone else aware if I can feed the burner via a small tube from another resovior? I worry height may be critical but It seems it has good pull power. Did the tender have a resovior? the filler cap has a breathing tube that seems longer than necessary as to why I ask.
The burner was heating the wheels b4 it rotated so I held off. I didnt want to stress the metal.
Also the marx and lionel track work but it seems haplier on prewar lionel 0 gauge as its beefier and the wheel flanges enjoy it more. [it seems]
Many thanks as always.
