I have posted this mesage elsewhere but din't want you chap to miss it....

Iâ€™m sure that this is not the first post about fuel point swapping but.

The default loco coaling stage is, I feel, far to big especially on smaller routes, however I have found that if the coaling stage is placed and saved in RE and then the world file is opened and the shape replaced with the default US diesel point, steam locos can now be coaled up using a hose!

Well I just thought I'd mention it.

Somebody needs to convert some of their steam engines to burn liquid coal.

Just don't burn the rubber hose.

Stinks the place out.

Just out of interest, has anyone ever spent long enough in an activity to need to coal the engine? I think the furthest I have ever got is to about 25% of the coal left. Ive run the tanks dry many times though....
