<p>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]</p> <p>Running on compressed air is not a viable alternative for a fireless cooker. Keep in mind that the superheated water in the pressure vessel will gradually turn to steam as the pressure decreases. Compressed air does not have this "recharging" factor</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>But it could be done. The compressed air would not last nearly as long as superheated water and steam, as you say. But the loco could be run on air for <span style="text-decoration:underline;">short</span> periods of time, as is shown by the video in an above post, where an 0-6-0F is shown running on air.</p> <p> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voBKRe6V3tA&feature=youtu.be">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voBKRe6V3tA&feature=youtu.be</a></p>
