Wouldn't a tilley lamp be a bit less hassle?

[mud skipper]

[SurfingNow]

i fired them up so it boils the water, so i could make a cup of tea!

look cool, my late father in law use to make little steam engines, took him years, more patience than i will ever have

[soramad]

i used to have a stationary mamod engine that worked off meths on a fixed metal chassis that one could bolt various machinery to it which was driven by a belt from the engine.bit of a pain though waiting for it to get up a head of steam.

Mamod! Now theres a blast from the past. These were great. I remember the stationery ones were built on a baseplate that had the same hole spacing as Meccano, so you could use them to drive a meccano model!

Great pics!
