Default Steam

Either full size or scale miniatures, tractors, rollers, stationary engines. Anyone else on here have a love for steam? If so show me your toys

Next you-w be tellin me you got that there lectric without genny runnin.

You'll probably find that your electric comes from a steam plant even today So all these new hi tec electric cars still need steam to run, probably easer to put a boiler on them and get a fire in. Much better hybrid, Welsh steam coal and water - Electric.

You heard it here first.....


Oh and thats not my miniture in the first pic either i have a Mamod tractor
