General Advice
- We have a draft door at either end of the ash pan which can be opened to any degree at will. When the engine is working hard, one of these doors is completely closed and the other only partly opened. This amount of opening is found by experiment by the operator in each individual case.

Ashpan for 3-1/2 inch gauge 0-8-0 by Martin Evans, from 0-8-0 Canadian Switcher Caribou.
Allen Mogul
Steve Zuiderveen designed a sliding door ashpan for his Allen Mogul.
- If you update your brake beams and linkages to be correctly/prototypically equalized, the bottom doors will no longer clear the revised brake components. This forced me to upgrade the ashpan to a slider variant.
