So, I've always wanted a steam engine. Loved the smell, sound and the real hands on approach to running these machines.
I'm a tinker, i love to mess around with just about anything. i put together plastics models, dabbled in woodworking with mild success. Recently..well for a couple years now ive been working in a Metal Fabrication Factory (Heavy Press Operator) stamping body parts.
Sitting out front one morning enjoying my coffee n cigarette i had a light bulb moment. I have access to all sorts of metal and very qualified machinist to ask for advice. So i began to cobble together an idea. This picture started about a year ago, i've had a bit of forward progress but i am doing this from no plans or any idea on how these things go together.
I am having a hoot, but i think the toolies are getting bit annoyed cause i don't speak their language
