Thanks Scout.....I'm starting to hoard some at my grandsons now after getting him interested in them. I was clever there, it worked out well for both of us. Now I just have to wait for my other grandson to get a bit older

Thanks mate!

ROFLMAO!!!!! I would just like to meet the b@stard who invented dust and give him a good old right punch to the nose!!!!!

I have a mate in Minnesota that's got a collection that makes mine pale in comparison. I love it when he puts up a video of him running one of his engines in -35°F and there is just clouds and clouds of steam! Love to see a pic of your D-10, Wilesco is one of the last surviving big model steam engine manufacturers in the world now. It's great to see that Jensen is still going strong in Jeannette, PA with a new generation of the family continuing the company - https://www.jensensteamengines.com/

Yul Lose, I have never counted them all up - I honestly don't want to know how big the problem I have is! My grandson has been using the engines as a 'steam library' for many years now. He takes a couple home and steams the heck out of them for a month or so and then returns them and takes a couple more. We've had many many pleasant hours teaching him machining on the lathe and mill making parts and building engines together that now are pride and place on shelves in his bedroom.

Thanks. Yes Joe, our range allows us up to 1" bore cannon.

Tomorrow is the 26th January - Australia Day. My Uncles birthday, I never met him. His plane was shot down by a Japanese Zero in the Pacific in WWII. 99% of Australians will be enjoying Australia Day with family and friends, 1% will be protesting and calling it 'Invasion Day' and wanting the date changed because it marks the 1788 landing of the First Fleet and the raising of the Union Flag of Great Britain by Arthur Phillip at Sydney Cove. Suck eggs losers.

A walk through of my steam engine room and collection of Model Steam Engines, Toy Steam Engines, Stirling Engines, Hit & Miss Engines, Flame Gulper Engines, Gas Engines with accessories that get run off all these engines plus a walk through also of my workshop and outside work benches where I do a lot of wood cutting, grinding and brazing on my hearth.

Monday Australia Day (or as the Lefties refer to it Invasion Day) is such a great day for the people who love Australia and get together with family and friends and make a top day of it. The other idiots think they are having a great day burning Australian flags and looks like a bunch of nuts....which they are!

You guys don't call taking a day off from work a sickie???? If not....you've got a great new word to use Have good weekend Eyesa 👍

You should always knock on the fridge before opening it just in case there's a salad dressing.

Guys guys guys......wayyyyy too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bingo.....cans !
