When driving a steam engine how do you know how much coal to put in? What's the "right" amount?

The key is the Ideal Fire mass.  If you use the F5 display (shown in this video) you can see the current fire mass level (which relates directly to the "percentage" shown on the normal F4 hud), and then the technique I describe here will allow you to find that sweet spot where the fire generates the maximum amount of steam - once you know where it is, you can then keep it there when you need steam the most! -- Watch live at http://www.twitch.tv/mattpeddlesden
