...... Other Steam ......

Mamod Traction Engine: My first exposure to live steam, and owned for over 30 years. My Dad grew up around the full size beasties roaming England, and subsequently was always keen in anything steam. I was a kid when given this, and burned my fingers many times playing with it. Liquid meths burner of course. Great stuff!
Mamod Steam Wagon: Bought a few months after the tractor. I remember trudging around a flea market in some farmers field in England with my parents looking for this thing.
Mamod Steam Roller: Prior to my homebrew efforts, the perfect toy for squashing stuff.
Mamod Fire Engine: Ah, if only the hose squirted water!
Mamod Touring Car: Steaming around the countryside in style!
Böhm HB12-AS2 Stirling Engine: No steam, but powered by fire, so still good. Plenty of wonderful mechanical action watching this gadget chug along. I may have to get more of these.
