Two stroke stationary engine uses ?

Would make a good anchor for a small dinghy

 

When I was a kid I liked the idea of running something like this from the tiny steam engine ornament my mother had in the sitting room.

 

Meccano. My bro had one. Worked on meth spirits.

 

You could take it to a country fair and set it running behind your Austin Maestro while you sit drinking tea on a deck chair.

 

Swap it for a bread bin

 

I am offended

 

Your post seemed like a classic bit of TLB to me. Nothing to apologise for!

 

Says the bloke who has overstepped so many times that he has to wear armoured shoes...

 

On the list put him on the list

 

This makes visiting TLB priceless...

 

Ah - loved my Mamod steam engine - got burnt so often I became immune to minor scalds and also discovered that meths burns with an invisible flame on your skin.

 

That looks like an Atco/Suffolk lawnmower engine.

 

If Don was here, he wouldn’t stand for this kind of thing.

 

Never had one but always wanted one. Used to look at them though the model shop window in the 70s. Half tempted to get one now. Loads on eBay . Fancy a steam lorry.

 

FTFY!!

 

They are bivvy shoes

 

I still have a steam traction engine and a steam car in the loft - bought them when my son was 12 - he is now 43 !!

 

Roger Mellie would find a use for it...

 

Does it come with a couple of loaves as getting a bit low after breakfast and do not fancy queuing up at Tesco's for a hour and having to make polite conversion with people.

 

I’ve decided to start a list, but matron won’t let me have any more crayons.
