Not bothered if original or repro, just want to give my SP1 a whirl ! Mamodman123 If you had asked about a month ago i'd have said yes   sold one to a bloke for his SP1 for about a pound   heavyhaulage Ahh. A month ago I didn't know I wanted one, I didn't even know I wanted an SP1 until yesterday ....such is forum power   xlchainsaw i just had a look at my odds and sods. i cant help you but i did notice that the meth burner from my mm1 fits quite well.but ive seen these to fetch more than i paid for the complete mm1. i dont know but some of the dealers were selling small burners that fitted into a loco burner. another suggestion would be to squash in a vice or hit with a hammer a standard tablet burner tray or make one out of a bit of tin and wire. failing that i could make you one but postage costs may be problem to you. heavyhaulage Many thanks for the advice   I managed to find a photograph of one on the net so at least I know what I'm aiming to construct now. I found one for sale for £5.35 plus £2.00 postage so I may go for that as it looks well made ( unless I can find a cheaper one that is ). Thanks again for the help ! mc_mc If you are desperate to run the engine: take some aluminium foil  fold it over a few times and turn up the edges to make a simple tablet tray.   It works just great and you chuck it away afterwards.   Also sometimes I line an existing tray with foil just to keep it looking nice and clean. heavyhaulage Brilliant ! Thanks, I wasn't sure what temperature the solid fuel would burn at    I think I was expecting something approching Thermite   Les Marsh You might want to watch this burner. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spirit-Tray...PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Lewis Les Marsh wrote: You might want to watch this burner. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spirit-Tray...PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem thats a mm1 burner sp1 burners are a thin solid fuel tray you can buy good repro ones from certain sites i have one for my sp1 heavyhaulage Thank you very much   . I was supposed to have looked at everything on there ( think I used SP1 in the search though ). You may have saved me a small fortune......an answer to a Yorkshireman's prayers !   James Just a note to say that I got your cheque for the SW1 today mate   heavyhaulage Thanks again. I may end up using the ally' foil as a temporary measure, and then buy a purpose made one I saw here :- http://www.modelenthusiasts.com/-...MINOR-AND-SE1-ENGINES-pr-282.html heavyhaulage Jolly good show James old chap ! SP1 brass should be about halfway there by now then. You'll have it tomorrow hopefully   Les Marsh Lewis wrote: Les Marsh wrote: You might want to watch this burner. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spirit-Tray...PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem thats a mm1 burner sp1 burners are a thin solid fuel tray you can buy good repro ones from certain sites i have one for my sp1 I know it is the wrong burner, but it might do in the short term considering it is a meths burner.
