A guy I knew made a working miniture steam engine.
He was an engineer at Durham science labs & made stuff for students to use in projects. If something needed fixing he'd either fix it or make a new one.

OP, would be good to see a vid of that in action. Lashing the two blocks together with chain doesn't seem the most obvious approach! Can't help imagining the whole thing vibrating and squealing in action!

I was very lucky to have a trip around this place on Thursday

Some incredible mechanical and metal working techniques going on, the flow forming is truly the stuff of magic!! (About 45s in)

I can't decide which category these guys are in, mad or genius, but Lady Penelope's car it ain't.

But what's not to like about a 4 litre straight 12 on open exhausts? 🙂
