Those are very interesting. I didn't see any reference to size. Was it not there or am I just blind? Keep in mind also, that those engines will run on compressed air or nitrogen. A paintball gun tank in a boxcar would make a good air tank.

It looks similar to the "Unit Steam Engine" that I use in my Heilmann (except there are 4 of them there)... I have had no real problem with the simple "ossy" and I actually prefer them to the more "correct" type.

Does anybody have experience with PM Research Inc's live steam engines. I was thinking of buying their model 2A. http://www.pmresearchinc.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=3084&cat=4&page=1

It's just the right size for what I need, but I was wondering if it's a good quality buy.

Thanks, 

Kevin
