The attraction to model steam is that element of danger or unexpected disaster

burnt hole in carpet, cylinder flew off MM1, many burns, almost forgot to replace jet oiler cap on Wilesco Roller, narrowly avoiding hot oil being spurted out everywhere.... The list goes on

We're all human Lewis, just one of those things
When the cylinder came off my SW1 it happened because it happened!
Was going a fair old speed though

The governor drive belt flew off in a run and hit me on the head. My SL1 burst into flames, including track. Bowman pipes got stuck and so much pressure built up that the safety valve sort of blew up and lots of steam gushed out right in front of me.......happy times.

It flies off everytime, but it usually misses me.
