I thought I would post a few of my turbine engines.
Here's my Empire B35

Nice and clean Empire  8)  Mine has a mostly green spotted boiler and needs some paint...

Didn't know you had a 95G, I dragged the whole family to Chicago last spring to pick one up that I found for sale  :D :D

Have you taken any outside on a cold day?

Nope, No outside shots in winter for me, but I know the Jensen heater could easily keep up with the outside temp and still produce steam.

Interesting. I think I've been deprived in life, because I've never seen a real turbine engine.

My Gintscel Hurricane is much larger that the ones in the T125 or the Atomic.

I am currently working on a boiler that will sustain it's higher steam requirements.

Yes that was a fun one to build, I'm thinking of using a D28 boiler for the Hurricane build.
