Looks pretty interesting. And nice modeling.
Keep us updated.

Hurry up before gas prices get any higher!!!!!:p
Looks like you've been browsing some history books, Gidgit.Go, steamboy...:D . Gotta add some way of steering that thing. And pistons or turbine for power transmission? Or perhaps just punch a hole at the back of the boiler to jet propel it....
lol.... fun comments guys, thanx :)
yea, we may have to open some more history books for this... just not too sure of a few details... but great fun :D
Cool, I've seen a lot of steam powered tractors that have been restored, they are very popular at classic car shows along with the hit and mis engines. They have very large flywheels connected to the crankshaft and zip along at speeds of about a half a mile an hour. :)
haha, yea, I have to work that flywheel in there somewhere yet eh...
here's a slight update... we got fire :D
hot cross buns???
Going along pretty well. Now for some technical stuff. Is the cart going to be used to carry fuel? What kind, wood or coal? Where is the operator going to sit? I imagine you need to have some space for the guy to stand on while stoking fuel on that contraption...
sweet.
I like how you changed up the main boiler. Keep it coming.
