Wild stuff.  Your mobiles make me want to buy meccano stuff

That Fulton just keeps going.  It's like they pipe the exhaust back into the boiler so it can have another go 'round  

I just noticed it doesn't have a sight glass (that I can see)

Are those steel boilers on the Fultons?

Yes the boiler is steel, and they are welded together rather than soldered, so if the engine is accidentally run dry the boiler won't be ruined.  It also holds enough water for 20+ minutes of running.
