Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Agreed .... Steam Shovels are totally amazing contraptions!

I like Steam Donkey engines even better as they were so incredibly versatile. Used in so many different applications just in the logging industry alone, and capable of so many different operations while hauling or lifting such significant tonnage!!

Used in a wide variety of different industrial applications, they were even capable of moving themselves over really tough terrain and often did!!!

Also agree. I have wanted to acquire a good model Donkey engine since I got into this hobby, I have seen a few but never landed one of my liking. A donkey engine would be a project right up Jin's capabilities, he would do it justice.😉
