[quote]QUOTE: I'm thinking the same concept might be used in G scale or even O. Problem perhaps in G is that the steam would require too much electricity to power since engine is larger and there's more advantage in smaller scales. [/quote] As a live steamer who mostly fires park sized locos with coal, I would think a G or O scale loco fired on electricty would just take longer to get up steam than an HO/OO scale engine, but the loco will run longer in O and G because of the larger boiler.
