This particular instructable is a lot better than many I’ve seen there, it looks very well designed and the construction looks rock solid. And how freaking cool (and simultaneously HOT HOT HOT) is a radio-controlled, steam-powered vehicle, anyway?

I have one of those old model steam engines from the 1950s in the garage. It’s missing the smoke stack and the little spinning thing. I also the toy workshop of 8 toy cast iron tools that run off a belt driven shaft. There’s a tiny toy drill press, table saw, lathe, milling machine, trip hammer and others.
