Is it ironic that a shop with the address NewEnergyShop should have so very many steam engines? Including kits showing you the principles behind Hero’s engine of the 1st Century AD? Possibly, but I’m certainly not about to hold it against them – not when they sell such beautiful and educational steam toys and kits. From large transparent steam engines (so you can see the workings through the glass) to simple Hero Engine recreations, to the above miniature steam trike – they will sell (quite pricy, but I imagine high quality) steam demonstration devices both assembled and in kit form for those who wish them.

And I must say hello and thank you to the recently joined, Sudden Device for sending me the link. Such pretty steam engines, no doubt I’ll be sighing over the page for weeks now.
