Your grandson is lucky he has a mentor, some of us started out flying by the seat of our pants, no clue about what we were doing or where to get parts to do it.

self made that makes fun - and the young steamer can
learn a lot from the old salt...

Jim, don't know how well that engine will run, but the hours spent with grandson creating it are the real benefit. Congratulations on bringing along another steamer.

Bonjour Jim,
I know and like rat roads especially because they almost di not exist in France but, despite a long experience in steam, I had never seen such a plant ;)
Well done and I can't wait to see a video of "this" running ;D

Know what a Rat Rod is? This is a Rat Steam Engine :)
My 12 year old Grandson with my help, made this out of some plumbing bits and pieces ..... 4 hours in the workshop yesterday and 4 hours today.
It's all silver brazed except for the steam and exhaust.
He learnt a lot and I had 8 hours of absolute bliss with him!
It's rough....but it goes!
