Well - they do sell small boilers and scale-model pipes, valves, steam gauges, etc., so I may have to get it running. Probably just to spin the flywheel, but just for a demonstration of the laws of physics (conservation of energy) I might also buy a small generator to make enough electricity to light a small lamp. I may wait until I retire to do all that, however...
Hi SB, many people use compressed air, instead of steam, to operate their model steam engines. Not quiet the same thing, but it will work until you can get set up with a boiler.
