<p>[quote user="PJM20"]</p> <p>Mamod locomotives ARE gas fired. Mamod locomotives can be put together with only a screw driver. Also, Dream Steam makes a higher pressure boiler with gas tank with a regulator:</p> <p><a href="http://www.dreamsteam.co.uk/mss-mamod-upgrade-parts/ceramic-gas-burner-set.html">http://www.dreamsteam.co.uk/mss-mamod-upgrade-parts/ceramic-gas-burner-set.html</a></p> <p>Cost alot, yes, but it still ends up cheaper than a Ruby. Also Dream Steam has parts and upgrades for Mamod locomotives, a following the Ruby doesn't have.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I have to correct my statement - recent Mamod steamers are gas fired. They used to be alcohol burners.</p> <p>To the OP: There is absolutely no advantage in alcohol burners. Again, I think, they are a much greater hazard than gas fired locos.</p> <p>You can use the gas bottles intended to refill lighters. There are also adapters available for those small bottles you use for camping stoves.</p>
