That is toooo fun, way cool & thanks for fire'in 'er up & make a video for us. as far a powering the tail, I'm not sure that little boiler can handle the additional load.  :D
Probably not much power, but it ran about twice as fast in the house. It was only 30˚ with some wind so I had trouble keeping steam, but I wanted to run it in the cold to show more steam coming out the mouth  :D  This was the first firing of the 24 year old toy.

I bet this will be the first of many firings of Gerald.

Your boys are going to have a blast with it! 🤠

Much better than I expected. It would be over the top if the Tail moved back and forth. 🤠
Yes, they really should have made the tail and mouth move

Well, there's your next set of projects then!!!

Gerald's pretty cool and he thinks so too. Look at the railing under his mouth,
he's drooling also. If he starts flapping faster you'll have to get him a leash.
