Mine was the Wilesco D 365 Steam Roller I own until today, nearly unused but slightly converted to butane fireing !

cheers Joe

P.S. For heavy use I bought a similar one and it causes some attraction when I use it on steam rallyes

A Midwest Heritage! Less than a year ago I saw a video of a steam engine and thought it would be nice to have one... then I bought one and another one and one more...

Jensen 76. First engine I modded too (about a week after I got it).

My first engine was (in) a boat, Bowman Seahawk. My first proper steam engine was a Burnac Vulcan.

Was the Seahawk improper?

A Jensen 75. Bought it a few months ago. Sold it then bought a Jensen 25, then another 75, then a Jensen 45 brass boiler, then a Jensen 10-1951 all in a few months.

Very soon instead of blood will have steam running in my veins!

First steam engine I saw was almost 275 years ago, at school in 1975, the image has been in my head forever. Never thought I will ever have one.....now have 4 and scaryly growing.
