A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Double click on the picture in Photobucket album. Then Just left click on the "IMG Code" link in photobucket, that copies it automatically. Then just right click here and paste.

Looks like you're doing a beautiful job. Please keep us posted on the build. -Ron
