So after talking of steam relayed stuff a week or so ago, I thought I'd dig out my mamod tei steam engine to show you all! Haven't had chance to steam it up yet but in the next week I'll oil it all off and get her running.
I'll try to upload a video once she's going too!

That's pretty cool. Is the toaster steam powered too?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Very cool, looking forward to it. Oh, and lightly toasted with apple butter please.

Unfortunately not but you'd think it sometimes with the colour of the toast I pull out of it (I'm bad for burning toast BTW haha)

Apple butter? Never heard of that mate haha

 

[Tunedfrog]

My Grandma used to make it, sooooo good. This is good too but Grandmas was better.

Very cool Steam tractor.

Bro.... We gotta have a talk about Apple Butter! lol Seriously if you can find Apple butter in the UK or if you can import a little in. You owe it to yourself to try it!

Very much agree. One of life's little indulgences

 

[Greywolf74]

I prefer it on biscuits rather than toast but then again Ill eat it right out of the jar too soooo. yeah. lol

Love me some apple butter. Mom used to make it with the little red hots cinnamon candies. She'd melt em down and mix them in place of the cinnamon. Darn good stuff.

I'm definitely gonna try that even if I have to make some myself, sounds absolutely beautiful haha
So I got the old steamer running today, had the whole kitchen smelling of steamy motor oil (you have to oil moving parts before running it)
Was very satisfying as I'd never seen it running before so it's the first time in over 36 years this old girl has produced steam!
Can't seem to add a video, anyone know how I can attach one?

Apple butter should be on the bucket list, it's the law.

Nope mate I have never uploaded anything to YouTube tbh haha I'll try tonight then

 

[Edough13]

That's awesome! Would love to see it operating for sure. As mentioned above you'll need to upload the video to YouTube and then share the video link here and we'll be able to watch it

 

[Stigtheone]

Here's the link to the video of the old girl running! My first ever YouTube upload too haha

Dude! That is wicked cool.

 

[Doom!]

What @WickedFog said!

 

[Stigtheone]

Thanks lads
I'm gonna get a drive belt for it next as, by all accounts, it should move and you steer it with a rod that screws into a bar in the chimney! My grandad used to have a little miniature saw Mill with toy sized machines you'd find in a mill that all ran off belts and I wish I still had it as this could have ran them all from the flywheel!

 

[Greywolf74]

Thats too cool! Id love to see it driving around!

 

[Stigtheone]

After the drive belt I'm gonna try and find these miniature saw mill machines, be awesome to run them via belt from the flywheel haha
