Boxing Day Tribute to Bruce & Nick
« on: December 26, 2019, 03:13:26 pm »
A little Boxing Day Fun Day.

This video is a tribute to two of my good friends in the Steam Toy Hobby; Bruce aka Saint Paul Steam and Nick aka Nick’s Steam Toys & More. Nick and Bruce have been great contributors to this Forum and great friends to me.

I am honored to have a number of Bruce’s creations in my collection; some of which are featured in the video. Sorry, they wouldn’t all fit on the table.

Thank you SPS!

I unexpectedly received four Christmas Presents from Nick and they are also included in the video. 

Thank you Nick! 🤠

The HO Train Set is part of my ongoing project to power it from a Steam Driven Generator.

I hope you enjoy watching the video. 🤠

Nice video Charlie, it is an honor to have you as my friend, you're one of the greatest guys in the hobby!

I like the clapperboard at the beginning  :D

By the way, that smoking baker has found his way back to Texas where he was originally made  ;)

Thanks for the ID Jan, it feels like a very fragile little toy... do you have one? I didn't spot the switch in the base till I was packing it up.

Fantastic show, Charlie..!!!

Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, and post it here.

When I saw the smoking baker, I immediately thought of Tom Sr. and his ever present cigar!

If our true age is where our heart is...... You've built a young engineer's dream display!

Very well done, my friend!

Thank you for all of the nice feedback!

This was a fun display to put together.

My wife got me the “Film Clapper” for Christmas. It came from Amazon.

Yesterday, a package from my brother Mike arrived. And it was a great Steam Gift. My twin brother Greg did the artwork. And my brother Mike had two Coffee Mugs and Three Shirts Printed.
