When I first started building model steam engines,
Must have been back around 1956 or 57 there appeared in the Model Engineer magazine some pictures of little steam engines made from household implements. One in fact was a Kettle on wheels, another was an old Flat Iron so no matter what you might think about steam engines quite often the thoughts had already been turned into practice. At least the dirt from a steam engine is easy to remove unlike the soot from inside a diesel which I am convinced can still be seen under my skin having been there from about 1960.
Who's turn next?
