I have a feeling that i'll be replacing my Miata with an MR-S in the next couple years.

As an engineer that works quite a bit with steam, I need some cool steam toy on my desk. Does any have any cool pictures to share with me for ideas?

In reply to RossD:

Somewhere at my folks' house, I have a very similar steam engine that was, IIRC, originally my late uncle's, though I'd guess it's too old even for him to have been the first owner...

How about a steam-powered R/C locomotive centipede?

I was thinking more stationary toys that just spin/pump/whistle...

I have a couple of these. They were designed to run on solid fule pellets which were crap, I've run it on Sterno gel, but even pre heating the boiler it still barely build enough steam to run before it's used up. i need some kind of small light weight burner too add.

This is the 'fuel' try

I need to upgrade to something like this
