I'd give my eye teeth to spend a day in your steam room and shop Jim. Truly wish I had a way to put my collection on display as you have, but then again, I don't have anywhere near that fine a collection.
Daniel, thank you. I've seen the variety and assortment of things that you collect. I don't think you'd ever get me out of your place :)
-
Jim,that is an impressive way to display both your engine collection, and your literature collection.
A lot of effort has gone into that. Nice to see!
Thanks Steven, very much appreciated :)

That's still one of the greatest steam room I've seen - and oh so clean.
Thanks Larry :)
Clean for the moment :)

Hi Jim, What an excellent place...!!!
Everything looks fresh and crisp. You are inspired me to dust and wipe again, while having fun.... in the Office of Steam.
A big thumbs up...!!!!

I have seen pictures from your steam-den before; but are just as amazed by its diverse and ritch content now as then.
I can honestly say that how you have decorated/ designed your den; would servce as a rolemodel for myself.
Sadly; I know that sutch a acomplishment the next few years only will be possible if my wife divorce me. As much as I love the hobby; I also have deep affection for the missis (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji56.png)
Ola, I involved Jenny in the whole concept. It was Jenny who picked the wall colour, helped me varnish the timber floors, picked out the cupboards etc etc it helped a lot :)
Now Jenny likes to show the room to any visitors that we have (even though most I think......think that I must be nuts (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji144.png)) the only thing she draws the line at is if I use to much Ballistol oil due to its pungent smell, that's why I mix it with G96 because it smells so nice :)

Good work! And plenty of it I am sure. Everything looks good now, a very nice collection in this room.
Thanks Tim, It definitely took awhile but it was at the stage when I could see a fine layer of dust here and there. I am glad its done, but it will be back that's for sure.
-
Awesome Steam Room Jim!! I don't think I'll ever take on a task of dusting and cleaning like that
LOL Nick, considering the magnitude of engines that you own, it would be a massive job.

One Steam Room completely dusted and all surfaced wiped (or wifed) down and engines oiled. Its taken a few hours each day for days to get this done. Every single engine, accessory etc got wiped down. Its been a few years, so it will be a few years before it needs doing like this again (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji120.png). I did 90% of it and just called for Jenny for some tricky bits when I was on a ladder
