<p>My live steam club is facing this issue. The mine we bought from about 10 years ago has closed down and we can't find any good-quality coal in bulk order.</p> <p>The stuff that works okay for the full sized locos at IRM or Strasburg just isn't good enough.</p> <p>We've tried just about everything, but it's either too big in lump size, too dirty (passengers don't ussually like a face full of smoke, the engineer too) or it just won't burn hot enough.</p> <p>Finding good coal is an issue that everyone should pay attention to. With new "green" movements we might soon find ourselves without a quality coal supplier, as my club has.</p>
