Hi there Ken,
Just a thought, but you may well want to fit a spark arrestor in the
chimney or smokebox {certainly the Norwich society wouldn't allow you to
run on their track Eaton Park track without one; and I'm slightly suprised
that Barton House hasn't followed suit given the insurance situation}.
This may well restrict the airflow, and cure the problem, as well as
preventing stray sparks.
Yours,
Rich.
PS Personally when I was younger, getting holes burnt in my clothes was
half the fun. Mum assigned a special pair of trousers for trips to
Barton House and Easton Park! but not everyone sees it the same way,
especially nowadays.
