Torque. All the torque. Nothing but the torque.

Those huge exposed gears made me nervous.

It’s cool, but seeing all that coal smog pump out all to break a record isn’t

What kind of “steam” is this? This is exhaust gases from an engine, isn’t? If it were “steam” the smoke was supposed to be white, not fully dinosaur-bone-carbon-black

Speed running the next dust bowl with that bad boy!

Is steam usually this dark and thick?

I don’t know why, but I find a kind of pleasure in seeing old machinery in motion; it gives a feeling of pure, contained power.

The amount of people complaining that the smoke doesn’t look like steam has me really concerned about the current levels of education.

The original was from 1905 but that particular one is a brand new build. None of the originals remained except for a few odd parts so they obtained all the engineering drawings and built one from scratch. Case 150 on YouTube will show you the story.

That is cool as hell. I’d be interested in knowing how it compares to a modern version in terms of energy consumption (setting aside the man-hour cost of all those dudes standing on it).

i love how the solution to farming in 1905 was just “add more blades and a literal train engine”

I love how steam engines are definitely not as earth friendly as their name implies.

Fun fact: steam was sort of like a predecessor of space travel and electricity. It was theorized steam would be the power source of the future. It was the first science fiction, popularized by Jules Verne notably.
Seeing a steamboat (they were big) traveling without any tracks would have been the most futuristic thing people laid eyes on, nothing like it ever existed in humanity’s history.

Steam power is underrated

Those aren’t plows, they’re ploughs!
