Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I agree there used to be side covers on the fire box.  I may make some, but I like the look of the tubes.

I tried the burners using a propane torch tank.  Just took off the torch tip and slipped a rubber hose over the torch and onto the feed tube to the burners.  They have an orifice built in and really put out the heat.  Nice blue flame.  I have not run it on steam yet, but I am sure it would heat up fast.
