Have you still remember the days of dangerous toys which actually taught us something? I had several Wilesco engines and love them all as they are high quality toy/model in my childhood when i was young a long time ago.
However I find there are less and less such 1950's Live Steam Machine any more. What an absolutely fantastic thing to build. I really can't afford to lose these things, unlike modern toys these are things of wonder. The first time i saw this live steam Beam engine kits from Stirlingkit, it took me back to my childhood. What nostalgia!
I had one of these miniature steam engine when I was a 7-years-old child, in the first half of the 80s, given to me by my father who died in August 2020. I will never forget the time that my dad breathed life into the steam enigne model, coaxing delicate plumes of steam. My eyes lit up as the miniature marvel sprang to action. How many memories did watching this video bring to light! Not only the machine, but also many moments of my life at that time! Today, at 50 years old, I traveled back in time to review a large part of my childhood, so far away now.
It means a lot to me as it saves a little bit of toy history too.
In history, England in 1776, at that time, Watt invented the world's most valuable steam engine. Britain has changed from traditional labor to labor replaced by machines. And this depends entirely on the well-developed mining industry in the United Kingdom. The steam engine came out because the traditional working capacity could not keep up with the rapid development of the mining industry. Watt's steam engine was improved on the basis of the existing steam engine, which not only improved work efficiency, but also reduced the risk factor, and was promoted in various fields.
Finally I build this steam engine kits, which brings me endless joy back in the day. I'm satified with the step-by-step instruction and qualitys. When i see the live steam model running, I can feel blood flowing through my veins again.
Let's bring the steam engine back to life together.
