Hi Phil

If I might add to the sarky comments (think of it as banter really), I've been looking into the causes of heat on Poole Farish motors over the past few days and I thought for a minute you wanted to use the carbon as some kind of water filter for a heat exchanger, to be towed behind the loco. Quite where a water filter fits into the logic of a heat exchanger I'm not sure, but it was a nice thought. Now wouldn't that be great, a heat exchanger for n gauge! Guess it would be rather redundant with today's fancy motors.

I'm an aquarist too - just yesterday I was thinking how neat it would be to have an aquarium with a cylindrical tunnel all the way through it, with a line passing through. That way you could watch your fish and the trains passing through - wonder what the fish would make of a class 47 passing through with a rake if 10mk I's? Probably try and eat it!

Anyway, sorry for the thread creep, just thought I'd share my thoughts ... and no, I (honestly) had no idea we were talking about coal until you mentioned it.

Will rummage around in the cupboard and see if I've got any of that carbon - I do remember having some.

Surely the 47 should have a rake of dogfish, maybe a mermaid or two with a shark bringing up the rear .......

There is a US TV show called 'Tanked' all about aquarium builders. They built a 3 three tank unit all connected by tubes for an estate agent, all the tanks where different houses.

That had a track running through it.

another great product for biulding mountain ranges or broken into smaller pieces to build stone walling would be (alfagrog)

Why do you want a tube for estate agents? I'd be inclined to let them drown.
