My collection consists mainly of old German static steam engines.

I've always yearned for a train though, and when I saw this little shunter on the Web, I just couldn't resist.

It takes 3ml of water in the boiler and 1ml of meths in the burner!

It does need a lot of patience, but it's the most fun I've had since I discovered girls. Very Happy
