Not sure if this will be moved or not, but I found this really cool.

(broken link removed)

Check out the site, the train actually heats the water to steam with wood. Brings us WAYYY back.

Next time I visit Romania, I am surely going to check this railroad out.
 
Definitely cool, probably ought to move, but I'd have to say I don't really know where to...

Green - I don't think these machines are EPA compliant...
Ash Can - no, to polite for that...
Boiler room - sort of, but they aren't heating with those...
DIY - tempting, but they probably won't let you drive....
The Gear - probably can't buy one either...

Guess I'll let it stay for now...

I have a very strong attachment to steam locomotives that goes back to childhood. Not clean burning, but an awesome accomplishment of the industrial age.
