Sometimes we all do strange things. After I built my first computer in 1975, I built a harpsichord in my living room (I still have it). After I finished (a year later), the place was a disaster area, so I moved.
At the same time I was doing the harpsichord, a friend was building an airplane in his apartment. He had to lower it out of his balcony piecemeal. His carpeting was filled with bits of metal and oil. He's lucky his landlord didn't sue him.

I've seen some really neat things that people have done with Lego trains, but I never considered the possibility of running live steam. How would you keep it from melting?
There is a very active Lego train club in Atlanta. I see their displays sometimes at shopping malls, model train shows, etc. They even have a Big Chicken.
That's really neat. I'm gonna try to build one sometime.
