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

Yay my new engine arrived!  I noticed in a lot of videos the base gets quite dirty.  So the first thing I did was removed the engine and finished the base. Now any oil that gets on it won't soak in.  Last night I remounted the engine and played with it for about 4 hours.  Wow I had so much fun but.. I may have over did it.  I was leaning over the engine most of the time and although I had my garage windows open  I started to feel a little sick from the exhaust. Next run I will have a fan pointed at me.  Also my arm was sore this morning from starting it so many times.  That's all for now I'm going to play 😁
