You can't just hop on a steam engine, turn a key and drive away. You have to take care of lots of details first, like checking your water level, cleaning out yesterday's ashes.....
cleaning the flues.....
gittin' wood....
filling the grease cups..... (Cup grease makes your skin feel great!)
and oiling every moving part. Steam does get in your blood, and you always have to go back for more. The kids in the video below are already addicted for life and they don't even know it. They will grow up thinking that everyone knows how to run a steam engine.
