I've just started looking into all of this model trains and stuff and the first thing that came to my mind is "Are there any REAL steam engines?" I mean, they're all electric and they can sometimes pretend to be steam engines, but y'know... I'm the kind of person who just likes the steam engine even if the electric one does just as good of a job. I thought, at first, that perhaps steam engines might not be able to be small enough, but some quick searching on google proved me wrong. So what excuse is there for not having a true steam engine model? <br /> <br />If anyone knows of one, please point me in the direction. I'm obviously not looking for some massive train, either. HO would be nice. :-p Otherwise... someone please please please let me know why the hell they don't exist? I'm tempted to go buy an electric ond, rip it apart, and find a way to get a steam engine in there. LOL! <br /> <br />-D
