What is everyones steamings per week (SPW), as in how many models do you steam in a week. 
Mine is a sorry 1SPW now I'm back at school.   But it's better than none.

I keep a yearly record, and once an engine has been stemaed 100 times, it is taken apart and given a good clean

Good idea. It's like our lawnmowers, we always service them once a year in winter.

Urrr....sorry to lower the tone, but my students use the abbreviation "SPW" as well, and they mean "sh*gs per week" 
I'm having a good week - 5 so far (STEAMS that is!)
