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

Rare to see one of these on steam, great show Charlie, thanks for sharing!

Wondering about the movie itself though...
Is it just my eyes, or is the engine really made of Jello, and able to wiggle like this?
Visible on several occasions, but quite clearly at 1.50.
Did you let YouTube "fix" it when uploading, as their software tend to ad a lot of visual distortion when used?

Jan:

Thank you for the feedback.

I think the movement was as a result of having the engine sitting on the fire blanket which was sitting on the carousel. The engine is quite light and a little unlevel (base is not perfectly level). Also, the smokestack wasn’t pressed firmly on the base (which I have fixed).

The DJI Osmo Pocket was mounted on a tripod.  So, I don’t think that was the issue.
