Very cool engines!
Do you keep your eyes peeled at garage sales? How do you find these pieces of art?

I just talk about engines to everyone I meet.

In this case, I bought a train (like a real 7.25" electric train set)

from a guy who was downsizing and he said, ,"BTW, I have this old engine in the garage..."

So I took it too. The Serious Boiler came with it, though I was unaware of its existence when I got the engine (it just turned up later).

Does that help?
