Bob, I've not seen anything recently either, like since the end of February. I just looked at the archives and the last message there is one I remember getting back then. Seems like HO Steam really

Ken, thanks for the pointer. I will do as you suggested and contact Caboose Hobbies. BTW the engine is oil burning. This leads to another question. Where would they put the oil tank on a tank
