Yes my 1.5 scale narrow gauge shay uses kerosene or #2 diesel for fuel. However the burner is nothing more than a 4 x 6 inch plate with air holes coming through the bottom and the fuel floods the plate. Nothing at all like a blowtorch. I still have my dad's blowtorch he used to melt lead used when sealing black iron sewer pipes.
My burner can roar like a blowtorch when the blower is up high or when the engine is working hard. Maybe that's what you heard Bob. Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I guess I am thinking of some of the larger scale ones that I have seen. > Clark, your 1" is kerosene, right? > Bob
