Doncha just hate it when that happens? burnt fur stinks...poor foxy!

Yep that much is true.

Ouch. I certainly hope I never get to see that...or smell it.

must have hit that red log n 88mph

DUH! sorry steamfox back to the futureIII refrence the professor made special logs to get the steam locomotive up to 88mph they had diferent colors an huge speed increases and the red had the engine popping rivits

Oh! Now I get it. I'll have to rent the movie and watch it again as I liked the "Time Train" contraption, and besides B2F1, B2F3 was my favourite.

Its not so bad when we loose eye brows but I can imagine a fur. ;)

Splendid image!

Yes, that's a true story. A Confederate inventor came up with the idea of how to sneak bombs into the coal of Union ships during the American Civil War. Made of cast iron, the two halves had a charge of gunpowder inside. When tossed into a ship's boiler, they would blow up the steam boiler which would result in the boiler blowing up and immobalizing , if not sinking the Union ship. Confederate Pres. Jefferson Davis thought this invention was such a perfcet weapn, that he kept an un-armed one on his desk throughout the war. They may have sunk several vessels. Good pic!

Man, that's...ouch.

I've been on fire before, luckily not my face, and I'll tell ya, it ain't much fun.

Grand work, Steamfox.

Didn't knew about this oO

poor guy.

huh. nice side fact, gotta remember it for a steampunk role playing game... :)
I once burned a strand of hair with excess fumes from an acethylene welding flame. didn't realize it until it burned it's way upward before my face. nothing else got hurt, but after that I came to the conclusion I should better bind my long hair up for work. :)

hehehe his fizzled fur is a nice touch.

I never about those ocurances (sp?) though.

You're not the onley one,that happen to me once to!Onley it was my friend Lary's 1/4 scale steam tug boat and a spent butane can.Lary's statement was that he heard a loud FWWOOOM,heard me yell OUCH,and saw me walk out of the boiler room with a blackend face,singed eye brow's, and some missing hair(I have long poofy hair by the way).

Really? The closest I've ever come to being in a gas explosion was when I tried to light a water heater with Doug the head Chef right behind me. (I was working as an assistant chef at the time.) I stuck my hand up the flue to the pilot light, and "WOOF!" the world turned white. I turned around just in time to see Doug's face all scrunched up, and the tips of his mustache glowing bright red. After asking each other if we were all right, we had a good laugh about it. I lost both my eyebrows in the process, and my hair got blown back into a sort of "Boufont" hairdo. My paper cap got singed too.

Not alone there but try brake cleaner in an old differentail housing and someone using a torch to light it and then running for thier life. Good thing i had an old welding helmet on or i would be playing a mythbuster 'Am I Missing and eyebrow?' that day.

I've heard tell that Brake Fluid and Clhorone bleach produces loads of white smoke, but I ain't gonna try it. Great story, and I'm glad you're okay though.
