I finally got some software that supported the formate my tablet takes videos in so I can now share this video.
I don't think this quite fits as a 'toy' steam engine but figured it would take peoples fancy so have put it in the Chat shed.

The is a Boulton And Watt, Sun and Planet beam engine and was originally installed in 1785 in the Whitbread Brewery in London.

Enjoy.

thanks for that Tony. It's good to see it running.

This thread really belongs in the Full Size Steam section, though.

Just wanted to post it here to get people excited about what other gems may appear over the next 2 days.

But maybe if it's played with, it's a toy - size doesn't matter?
