My collection of beer and other beverage cars

I don't really have room for this train so I get it out once in a while and set it up on the floor...

Small collection of Marklin trains purchased at a yard sale some years back, and few recently collected from ebay. This is the first Ive had the track mounted.

Stirling Hot Air Engine Demonstration

This is my roughly 100 year old Weeden Steam Engine. I've previously run it on compressed air but decided Id see how well it would work under steam pressure. I purchased this with the sight glass broken so I had to solder brass caps over the sight glass nuts or retainers in order to be able to build pressure in the boiler. For the most part that worked however one of the caps did not seal well which has since been fixed by a rubber washer under the cap. Also made a new wooden handle for the whistle which was broken when I purchased the model. It came with an alcohol burner I'm not familiar with so decided to run it on Sterno Gel Fuel which seemed to work well. This engine runs very smooth and quiet considering its age.

I purchased this used on ebay, cleaned it up, replaced the sight glass and it runs great.

My Collection of Radio Control Cars...and a Tank

Bristol Bay RC Model Boat Evening Cruise with the lights on.

This is the Bristol Bay Radio Control boat, that I have slightly modified. I replaced the giant anchors with more scale fittings, replaced the lifeboat with a storage locker, the life rings with more realistic ones, the gingerbread step railings with more to scale tubular railings, and the deck winch with a better looking, more to scale winch from Harbor Models. I added a bell and anchor winch also from Harbor Models, an exhaust stack, and fire extinguishers. The boat comes with coils of rope all over the deck and huge blobs of glue to hold them in place, these I removed to clean up the deck. I also cut down the forward vent and companionway to give them a slightly lower profile. I purchased this boat used and future plans are to redo the rigging, and sails, possibly some more lighting and sound.
