An actual Steam engine or just a locomotive?

Your picture is of a moden locomotive.
A steam engine will be a little more difficult, but not impossible.

Here we go. If this works let me know and I'll call the next mark. This is the old Erie Canal. Sign in background proves it

Hey, Robdrobd! This totally works...or does it have to be a steam engine train? I say it works...

ALSO, what size jets you running with those velocity stacks??

robdrobd · « **Reply #129 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:12:41 pm »

120 mains and stock 40 pilots, but the pilots need to be upped a size or two.

cb650- does my steam engine work? This is a Corliss Steam Engine. A Corliss steam engine is a steam engine mostly used to power factories.

... By the way, it does work. Notice the stack of wood underneath used to heat it up.

Any is fine. Yes my pic was a modern train it was just something I took while riding.

This one was built by the inventor of the steam engine Paul Stevenson. His wife Hazel donated it to the Erie Canal Museum. That's about as old as it gets for steam engines!!

Would you care to explain that.

My understanding is Thomas Savery invented the first crude steam engine, Thomas Newcomen improved it and James Watt gave us what we now know as the steam engine. George Stephenson then was credited with inventing the first Steam Locomotive. I don't know his wifes name but he had a son named Robert.

My apologies. Paul Stevenson and his wife Hazel donated the LAND and building to house this steam engine exihibit. This is actually a Corliss model steam engine. A Corliss steam engine is a steam engine invented by and named after the American engineer George Henry Corliss. Mostly used to power factories. Does it still count or is the steam engine mark still out there?

Are you trying to end the game?

I knew a guy down at the flea market years ago that always had one there. I'm rained out this weekend on the gulf coast...

robdrobd · « **Reply #146 on:** September 02, 2011, 01:29:43 pm »

I have never seen a Yugo in my life. I'll wait for the next mark.

Had a friend that drove one in high school. Anytime I rode in it I'd pull off door panels and various other interior parts for fun. Seemed like it was all just clipped-together cardboard.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #148 on:** September 02, 2011, 02:24:58 pm »

Im going to see if i can find one.

I don't doubt it. Many years ago, a Yugo was blown off the Mackinac Bridge during a gale. Needless to say, the driver, a young woman, didn't survive the 200 ft plunge to the water.
