Personally I wouldn't have a problem with doing so. I also regualrly wear short sleeves on an engine.
I've seen comments regarding this on TT before. Stood on a traction engine, the boiler is beneath you, the bit most likely to burn and scald is the gauge glass. It is at shin height. For that reason I would not wear shorts, having burned my knee badly once sheeting an engine up after I had changed into shorts for a balmy evening.
Is this ''it is dangerous'' manure a railway thing?, where the crew are stood behind a boiler with the gague frames at arm and head height?.
