My new toy is a Mamod stationary steam engine. It uses a spirit burner to heat the water and surpisingly burst into life easily the first time I tried it. There is something very satisfying watching the flywheel spin round as it hisses and spits everywhere. This model was made from 1967 to 1979, I believe. Mamod made lots of accessories designed to be belt driven by the engines including drills, grinders, polishers etc. I have a power hammer connected here. One engine can drive several accessories so you can make your own mini factory.
The company also produced steam locomotives, rollers, tractors, cars and other steam vehicles.
You can get steam miniature boats too.
That is simply amazing!
