I like this one. A functional steam powered work shop.

There's a video down near the bottom of the ebay listing. Very cool.

I always wanted one of them when I was a kid.

I think this could turn into a whole new obsession...

There is a little tray that you fill with four solid fuel tablets. Light the tablets, slide the tray in place, and within 2 or 3 minutes the water is boiling and you're steam powered!

That is very cool....does it have the little tray with those special cubes that you light to heat the water?

When I was working we would sometimes land at Buffalo, NY, and we would stay at the Williamsville inn, in Willamsville of course....and there was a toy shop down the street, and they had a whole display of steam engines, tractors etc.....those little tractors were the best...next to the chicken wings!

I've been posting more non-Jeep stuff here lately than Jeep related topics but I'm having more luck with the other stuff so you get to see that for now. The Jeep projects continue but I need a little distraction every so often.

Here's another nifty item I acquired over the weekend - a Wilesco Steam Roller. It's an actual working steam roller with a fully operational steam boiler. Pretty cool little rig.







The lever I'm messing with near the steering wheel activates the steam whistle but my el-cheapo camera can't pick up the sound. My dogs were not pleased...
