I get a lot of pleasure doing embellishments to my steam room, I did this Youtube short just a few days ago -

That Sir, is one cool steam room ! I'll bet when Jenny walks in (when she tells you supper is ready) she doesn't even notice a new engine Anymore...lol. You have got that nearly as jam packed as you do your workshop outside. Luv it !

LOL Bruce they are sneaking into different spots throughout the house...its a bad disease isn't it. There's some that I have triples of and should move out to make some room.

While not as cool as your room, my "steam" room is a smorgasbord of crap that I love.  I got started collecting pinballs when I was in 5th grade when a friend of my dad gave me a 60s pinball machine.  I put it on roller skates and wheeled it a 1/2 mile to my house.  I am sure it was a sight to see LOL!  At one point in my early 20s my Dad and I have over 50 arcade games when the owner had to clear a warehouse.  He told us, "take what you want and what you don't take goes to the dump".  So we took them ALL!  While between my family members there are about 6 left, I only have what is in my room.  It is a real sore point with my kids, to this day they are pissed when I sold off about 5 around 2010.

I am also in to audio/video/film, among other little things.  This room is more or less overflow and I have no more overflow left ha!  I have zero space anywhere in my home for additional items.  God knows what I'll do with my Weedens that I have in Atlanta if I ever completely return to Texas.  I have been told I am not allowed to sale / discard in anyway the Campus Queen or the Defender!

@Nick

I reckon this would be too small a 'steam room' for our Nick

Also two (2) of these metal light fittings are coming as well and I have been able to buy the antique very low wattage bulbs that have a very nice soft yellow filament light -

Also took of the white rope ringer from the ships bell (it was driving me to distraction) and turned up this brass one on the lathe -
