Elegance in miniature!

Looks like that should easily run off of the exhaust from most any other engine, if you can find a way to get steam into it?!?!

A Stuart 7A is the motivating power for my pencil sharpener.

Really like that pale blue/gray color, looks very industrial!

Agreed, I like it better than Stuart green and I just picked up a very nice beam with the same color. Think I have a number 8 as well hiding somewhere…

Now there's an engine style that you don't see just everyday .... or any day for that matter, as I believe this is the first time I have ever seen that design!?!?

I like it though!!!
