Running Vintage Doll Steam Toys During Snowmageddon in Texas
« on: February 18, 2021, 06:01:06 pm »
Snowmageddon:

Snowmageddon, Is portmanteaus of the word "snow" with "Armageddon”.

It has been way to cold to work in the Steam Cave with the lowest temperatures since 1898.

So, I decided to run a few of my Doll Steam Toys with the Tarot Stirling Engine that a number of Forum Members (including me) bought off of Banggood recently.

The Tarot is a great bargain and capable of running almost all of me Steam Toys.

I hope you enjoy the video.

I’ve been wondering how you’re doing Charlie, so it’s very good to see you post! Have seen lots of frozen pipes, ceilings caving in and people with no power.

Loved the video, as it features my favorite maker of steam toy accessories 😍

Super nice video Charlie!

Glad you're doing okay in the current Global Warming event that your region is experiencing!?!?!

You've had a steam cave since 1898?  Oh yeah, nice video too.
Glad to see you're getting by Charlie.

Thank you all for your comments and feedback.

We were barely touched by this winter storm at my house. We are on the same grid as our local hospital. We never lost power and have only lost power twice since 1993.

I did take the opportunity to go to a local church parking lot and do donuts in my truck. 🤠 I doubt I will have that opportunity again in Texas in my lifetime. Brought back lots of memories from my youth.
