Reply to "Ernst Plank Hot air trolley / tram ... 65mm / 8 gauge 1900 + -"

I was completely wrong with my remark on the flame color I realised when trying to sleep.

A yellow color is wrong; it should be blue or with as little yellow as possible. I mixed up things and showed the wrong picture of the tests (sorry, cannot find the right picture). The test causing yellow flames was done with the stuff in the blue bottle: 85% denaturated Ethanol which generally is used for cleaning (windows, mirrors). It is available in my country (Netherlands). The other bottle is 94% Ethylalkohol I buy in Germany. This gives a flame which is much more blue .

On a hot day the stuff in the blue bottle is good enough to run my live steam 1 gauge trains, but I prefer to use the German stuff.

The burner material with the yellow flame was glass-fibre; I prefer to use the wick material supplied by Aster, which is not glass-fibre.

Regards

Fred
