Default steam

A local here restores steam traction engines . The sound of a steam whistle can be heard now and then on weekends .

I have visited his workshop, everything is big and heavy .Try moving a 7ft diameter steel wheel

He restores the boilers and hot rivets them together with ex railways stock rivets , he replaces the boiler tubes and machines up new parts .

Fuel is never a problem , go out and cut some firewood .
