Anyone need a steam locomotive? Only $27,500.00, not a bad price, cheaper than a Honda.

When we lived in Jersey we'd spend a weekend in Lancaster PA. Our favorite place to stay was the Red Caboose Motel. These are the separate rooms -Anyone need a steam locomotive? Only $27,500.00, not a bad price, cheaper than a Honda.

If you pay a dollar and sell it for five, you make a $3 profit, and you get back $4. Do that about 100 times a year, and that's a 300% profit on your investment.
Yes it is. The dark chocolate are the best. After covid they basically did away with the samples. I'd eat like twenty when we're in the store.
I grew up on Long Island (36 years). Once I hit 17, most of my nights were spent in NYC. In 96 I moved to NYC. Three years of hell. 24 hours of bass coming through the walls. I mean that, 24 hours. In 99 we moved to Iselin NJ. Moved to PA in 2021. I'll probably die here. But, I also said that about our first house in Iselin.
At how many points in that clip, regardless of the rocks being fake, could he have been hurt or killed? That tree stunt is phenomenal. Falling from that height. I certainly wouldn't do it. Many hate the old studio system. But, they created the greatest motion pictures of all time. They knew storytelling.
That's really cool. If I had a yard, I'd display it.
It was probably Millers you went to. We eat at Dinners in Intercourse which is right next to a shoo fly pie place that looks like a windmill. The whole area is overcrowded with traffic now. But, along the back roads with farmland is incredibly beautiful.
I remember that Intercourse was between Paradise and Blue Ball! That was appropriate!
That's it. Blue Ball.
There are a lot more folks in the market for something like that than most would think. If I had fuck you money I would definitely buy it, and lay tracks from my front door to my mail box. They are living history. I became interested after running across a series of short documentaries on an English guy buy the name of Fred Dibnah. The dude is was an old school Steeple Jack, and watching him demo smoke stacks the old way is a lot more entertaining than it may sound. When he wasn’t Steeple Jacking, he got up to all sorts of interesting stuff, like restoring steam engines and driving them thru town. If any of you are unaware of this guy, take a few and look him up. You can thank me later . A man can learn a lot from Fred, especially how to get shit done.Anyone need a steam locomotive?

My father built a miniature reciprocating steam engine. I still have it in a box. He built it from scratch by machining all the parts.
That’s cool as can be man. I am working towards getting a mill, and several other items I would need to build some of the tools and projects that are on my bucket list. I am not a machinist, but I have done some welding and fabrication. Going to be a steep learning curve for me on machining detailed parts. I hope to get to a point where I can imagine something, draw it up, and build it right in my shop. You ever take that engine out of the box and run it? If so, you should video it. There is a lot of interest in stuff like that. My YouTube playlist is filled with machinist, engine builders, all sorts things to do with building. I’ve watched many of the small steam engine videos available, but most if not all were put together from kits, and anyone can do that. But the stuff that some guy built every part for, in his spare time, are always more interesting. Got any pics of it?
No pics. I have run it on compressed air, not steam, my father ran it on steam, it needs a separate boiler. I was a machinist/CNC programmer for over fifty years. Any questions and I would be glad to help. I might go buy a small lathe today.

I called the guy to arrange to come and get it. He told me someone is on their way but you can come if you want. I told him, I can beat that guy there I am much closer but that wouldn't be fair. I told him let me know if he buys it which he did. I had him down to six hundred dollars for that lathe which would have been a great deal. It had 3 and 4 jaw chucks, face plates, steady rest, follower and a milling attachment. It had all the back gears for threading, if you don't have them you don't thread on these smaller older lathes. You should be able to pick up a decent lathe for under a grand. The main thing is it runs true and the bearings and ways aren't all shot and worn out. a bridgeport style mill and a decent lathe you can make just about anything. I have seen real Bridgeport mills with power feeds and readouts go for between one and two grand. There are tons of "good" brand name machine tools out there. If you see anything you are interested in you could run it by me. Unless you have 3 phase electric hookup it narrows it down quite a bit. I don't know what it takes in bucks to get set up for 3 phase. The lathe in the picture ran on 120V. Anything much bigger is usually three phase. Where I am at, it is very rural and folks need farm equipment repaired. I could also make pedal steel guitar parts or just about anything I wanted. Machining is mostly common sense that comes with experience. Speeds and Feeds are very important. Remember, an indicator is a machinists best friend.
