Good sleuthing job finding that photo.

Looks like your copy should work fine, though don't forget to include the holes around the top of the burn tube, as I suspect they will prove critical for air mixing to keep your flame where it belongs.

Well I got lucky that one of the few pictures of this engine had a picture of the burner out on its own! Haven't soldered it yet, because I figure I should use a bit higher temp solder than I have on hand. Then I gotta figure out how to plate ...[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

Thanks guys! Do any of you happen to have one in your collections, or know someone who might? I am so desperate to find some dimensions for the burner, that I may just wing it haha!

Heya all, it seems I got a bit lucky finding these somewhat mislabeled on eBay. These are 2 live steam HO locos and a traction engine, made by LS LOC. I am very much looking forward to steaming them soon, but i am missing the burner  for the stevens rocket, and was hopeful that someone might have one, and could provide dimensions for it, so I may remake it! Also missing a corner to one of the displays, I am having trouble finding that too, but I have what I need to make that if I can't find one off the shelf. Gotta clean up the displays a bit, they clearly spent some time in musty storage haha!
