Coal Consumption

I have a steam loco that runs out of coal at about 10 miles. Is there a way to fix this problem so I can extend the journey?

If you would be so kind as to share what it is we might be able to help you.

In the locomotive BIN Files, check Basic Coal Usage Rate.
Too high value will cause the coal to exhaust very soon.

I am asking this question on behalf of a friend who is trying to develop a locomotive. I hesitate to comment on the project without permission. I am sure when his project is done you will know about it.
