So you run a narrow-gauge third-world steam locomotive. 30
tons of wood is enough to get you from The Cape to Cairo with a modest
load. I do hope your engine has a spark arrestor because setting fire
to The Dark Continent could have political implications these days.
As for your positive-vorticity panels, what do they do?
Logically they should suck and swirl, like a Dyson.

Certainly third world, very leaky drafty Queen Victoria building yards from the sea. Have managed to pour some insulation granules into the cavity wall, so should help.

They had cavity walls in Victorian times?
Must discuss...

It was not unknown, no.

Especially in very wet places where the outer wall could get damp and
not affect the interior.

It has been more or less STANDARD since the 50's.

I cant recall when it became COMPULSORY.

Yes, this was designed by Prince Albert and built in 1885. Unfortunately, the cold air circulating behind the warm inner brick skin had condensation pouring down the walls and black mould everywhere. Hoping the insulation has sorted it.

Won't the fire go out when he goes out?

I imagine he would get more than his feet plates wet leaving the Isle
of Wight in a train.

Some interesting phases coming up. I wonder how they will add to what
is already entrained.
