40 degrees F. is about as low as I feel comfortable in. I can get away
without gloves and my butane fired locos still work well.

Lowest PRACTICAL outdoor operating temperature?

2001-12-31 Thread Mike Eorgoff

I would like to know what you all think or believe is the lowest PRACTICAL
outdoor temperature that you would run steamers at.  I'm thinking in terms
of not freezing your fingers off, or running for warming up yourself, and
partaking in the normal operational style.

I know that someone will say that they got it all running indoors and then
took it out and ran, but that is like the guys in the polar bear club
jumping into the icy lake.
