Live Steam Magazine, December 1983
The following is a drawing of an oil (diesel) burner some of us here at the Southwestern Live Steamers have been using with success in our 1-1/2 inch scale Hudson, Pacifics and Atlantics. We are not certain from whom the idea originated; some say it "just happened." As shown, the whole unit is bolted together with 6-32 bolts. The two elbows are standard 1/4 inch copper tube fittings. Installation is in the forward end of the firebox (as used with other types of burners). Other regular practice is followed (the fuel tank located above the burner as high as practical, needle valves, etc).
