My kids decided to buy me a steam engine for one of my birthdays.....About 4 years ago..
I finally got round to finishing it today....Last job, rivet the boiler bands on....
Here it is all finished, needs a good polish now...
And.....dont mock, I know its a classroom model, but they didnt know what they were buying me.... :Doh:

Nothing to mock John , :thumbup:
Beats the hell out of getting socks as a present :palm: I very nearly bought a similar engine kit wile perusing the Deutsches museum gift shop , anyway it looks like fun putting that kit together. :dremel:
When is the grand steaming ?

Gotta agree with Rob, WAY better than sox n jocks. :lol:
Now, out with your favourite metal polish and apply some bling.
We await the initial steaming run.

Ok, I fired it up and it runs well..A few teething issues but nothing that cant be fixed.
Still waiting for photobucket to approve the video... :scratch: How long does it take to vet a 30 sec video? :Doh:

Well - if instead of "A Steam Set" you titled you video "A Steamy Set" I can imagine they'd pass it round them all for a look first!

To be honest, I was quite thrilled at seeing it run for the first time.....
The kit itself was quite easy to out together, although the brass sheetwork presented a challenge to my 'tin bashing skills' but it does adequately demonstrate the principles of thermodynamics very well for education purposes..
