The John Bull has special meaning for me...when I modeled the Pennsylvania RR...found the John Bull was the first to run on their tracks....Pennsy was just a concept then....So I can appreciate all aspects of that Enginetomhugill wrote:

Those are exquisite models. Here's a link to a working steam model from Mamod; and it's radio controlled ..I can already hear the zimmer frames clumping down to the local model shop! 
No, Steve..in my dreams, I'd like to claim that as my handiwork, but I just found it on the Net. If you google 'steam powered tank' you'll come across the original link. If I had the time, and the workshop, I'd love to attempt a project like that...rctiger1 wrote:Hello 43rdRecceReg

as I did once build a small working steam engine at school...eons ago. Then I moved into the Arts side of academic life. By the way, I saw the misplaced post that mentioned your health, and it's impact on your hobbies...and, I imagine the general quality of life. Well, I hope it improves for you very soon. This forum is also a good distraction when you're not feeling on top of the world, so to speak. I myself am trying to learn to walk again after a bad double ankle break before Christmas, and the limitations a lack of mobility imposes are really frustrating...and scary, sometimes....but not as scary as that stinking fish (in tins) you eat in Scandinavia! I went Iceland once, and got a whiff of it...once was enough, more could be fatal!
