4 forum posts	Hi Nigel, Your correct anthracite bean size coals are best for your loco try signal fuels who sell welsh steam coal in bean sizes amongst others. They are usually at most model engineer shows. Signal Fuels Providence Street-Peacocks Estate Ripley DE5 3HY Telephone:01773747027 Edited By Tony Guerrier on 31/08/2009 16:36:07
