Pearse Colorado Live Steam Locomotive.

[Bill the builder]

I recently purchased a Pearse Colorado locomotive and am looking for operating instructions or manual. Can anyone help Me? Build number is 185.

Thanks

Bill, I just got a Pearse "Rio Grande" which is a 2-8-0 version. (Mine is a bit cleaner now!)



I didn't find anything particularly tricky about it. Ian Pearse went on to become Mr Accucraft-UK, so it bears a strong resemblance to an Accucraft loco.

Like any live steamer, you oil all around, fill the boiler with distilled water and remove 50ml, fill the gas tank with butane, and light the burner. When you see pressure on the gauge, put it in gear and open the throttle, reverse it, repeat until the water stops shooting out the chimney/stack, and then away you go.
