Thanks for the video and the photos, Jason. What a great running loco!

 > I think that the change from central oiler (as in your R 4010) to two separate oiler cups is rather an indicator of production date (yours should be earlier) than establishing the difference between R 4000 and R 4010...

Schiffmann's dates for the R 4000 are 1909-15, model 4000 1903-34 in variations.

Jim, thanks for sharing everything, Its definately a favorite of mine, as well , as its ability to run.  The oiler seems to work very well, however I could see why they would add a second one.  It doesnt seem to run out of oil, but I constantly need to fill the burner.  I used 50ml of water, and 25 ml of denatured, it takes aobout 5 min to heat up, then I have fun running for about 10 min.  I dont want to run it dry, doesnt seem to burn thru water fast, albiet the boiler is concave underneath, which was a huge suprise.

Its just annoying that the burner needs filling so often.  I am hoping to aquire the correct track, but, until now Ill use my old lionel or marx

Many thanks, Enjoy your day Jim!
