Screwy Nick Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Installed an LED into the head lamp of the 3 cylinder Shay, snaked the wire through the handrail, put the battery and switch in the cab, nothing unique about that. What started as an operating temp test turned into a great morning for plumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 That little guy steams really good! Something to be said for running live steam in the winter time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Nick Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 You could say I cheated. I first warmed the water on the stove, took it outside and lit the burner. Want to try one when the temp is below freezing. On that one I intend to also run in the house to warm the cylinders before going outside.

Screwy Nick Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sean, I tried several ways to fix that, and was able to do it ONCE, since then no luck, sorry. I do appreciate the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Tough guy running steam in the cold. I have done it a few times, but find I can talk myself out of it pretty easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Nick, Very nice as it looks real! Well I guess it is!! What fuel does that use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Nick Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 They are designed for Butane, many have found that Isobutane produces a bit more heat. The factory burners can also be modified to produce even more. I have one that I converted to use Propane, pumps out even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
