Hi There.
Welcome to the forum.
It always helps if you can put up a pic of your traction engine so the guys know what engine you have. I'm sure someone here will be able to help.

I think about 50 pounds, need to be careful with gas burners as its easy to run the boiler dry and then if your not quick melt the solder.

Just don't buy Gas burners for a TE1a, it's totally not needed mate!
Stick to meths and solid fuel!
