• Eldest Grandson is 12 now and lives about two stone throws away, he's at the age where steam engines are just the coolest thing and he takes a different one
  home with him for a few days and steams the hell out of it and then swaps it over for another one.

• Good one Jim. Hey wait a minute. If he's having so much fun, why is he not smiling?
  You know over here we have child labor laws.

• Well, he seems to concentrate on his job. Looks pretty good to me.A long as he doesn't try to enlarge the burner or the engine by making the swiping gesture...
  Only kidding, my experience is that kids today still fall for the hands-on approach. Well done, Jim!

• That's great Jim, if he takes a different one home every few days, knowing your collection...he got at least a 2 year supply mate. 😉😄🎄

• He should tell his friends what a cool "new" toy he's discovered.

•    Nice, I like it, but, I am jealous. When I mention doing a little steaming to my 12 YO grand daughter, she just turns up her nose and says no.

• Yeah Jim, now he's smiling like crazy. Must be that Steamco Engine.
  Oh wait, it's probably that sign to the right of him, Liquor in front, Poker in rear.
  Or the girl in the Rigid calendar to the left of him.
  It's a combination of the two.    At a boy!

• @Jim when are you going to quit messing around with toys, wise up like my dad and get that kid into shooting, then you’ll have cheap/free labor to do some reloading for you 😂 😂
