Hi Greg, Good question, but the volume of 6 x 14 x 2.5 metres is sufficient (up till now) to absorb the water vapour from the one (to max. two locos in steam). And the door to the rest of the cellar is currently open (due to be replaced with a sliding one), so it´s not been a problem yet. Got to be careful not to set anything alight though .....

Checked out your cool site! Excellent!

Regards, Andrew

Glad you like it. Just tried to get some other loco working, but it looks that evening is going to turn out be more of maintenance session ...
