Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

ROFLMAO!!!!

Sorry Nick...just as I was unboxing eldest son arrived....he's been very peripherally interested in steam engines, just really to show his old man a bit of love I reckon 

Well his eyes bugged out with the petrol H&M engine, pretty sure he's going to want one for himself. I couldn't answer all his H&M engines questions, so he's going to read up on them tonight.

It started on the second pull......we put about an hour and a bit (stop and go) on it whilst studying the whole thing. Both of us had HUGE smiles the whole time......this engine is FUN!!!

Had some black unburnt oil making a mess, so will definitely cut down the amount of oil (used a a really good quality 2 stroke outboard oil in the end) and the Zippo fuel exhausted smells pretty ok I reckons.

So glad I succumbed to these H&M engines....I should have a lot earlier now after this arvo of fun.
