Homebrew Steam:
  
Steam Tractor TankBuilt from an old Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger.  Mounds of dirt, gravel & leaves hold no fear.   Inspired by Crabfu's Steam Lobster
  


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 EngineNo 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.
