Kent ! Wow ! That little loco is a keeper ! Originally an MDC 3in1 kit 1550 I think . Had my own HS for 10 years always on back order never got one . Nice score .Since it is fitted with a big screen ? Mostly wood , cheap coal ? Build a cage if you go wood as it takes a lot of it to keep this teapot steaming . As wide as the sides , tall as the cab at the peak maybe use window screen ? Have fun ! Just as aside ? That stack seems just a tad bit too high ?

I am not a steam guy, so I lurk here to learn and ask questions.? I started this project a long time ago, and thought I had asked this quesetion before, but could not find the answer in my search.? Given the stack on the attached, what type of fuel would this engine use...wood as I recall?? If so, then should I stack some wood on the back for fuel.? All direction appreciated.? Thank you,
