I wish I lived in the late 1800's/early 1900's.

I'm sure I saw (and maybe rode on) real steam engines when I was a kid living in Long Island....but I sure don't remember seeing any up close....

Does this mean I can come out of the corner?

Yes, one should never go to sleep angry or upset with anyone else, even with a shark :)

Every once in awhile, someone will refurbish a steam engine, and run it through my area.
Very pretty, but they are expensive to run due to various reasons.

What was amazing, a steam engine could develop 4000 horsepower even though it only achieved a fuel burn efficiency of 5 to 15 percent at best.
That is actually horrifically crappy performance, but rather amazing on the horsepower output.
There was a design for a modern steam engine out, and it supposedly would have achieved 35 percent efficiency in the fuel burn.
(Probably understated actually.)

I do hope I am remembering this correctly.
I'll probably have to dig up the info to be sure though.

Me too, hence my screen name. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I was definitely around in those days. Love the old mining towns, from CA to Alaska.

I used to surf in front of the Azores Hotel, Gilgo Beach......and out the Hamptons way. When were you there?

For a few brief moments, I felt sorry for the critter. You know, once he stopped discussing certain topics... Tomorrow, it will be back to the frying pan!

No, just have always liked everything around that time period...architecture, literature....simple life, even though a hard one, but, family and community was the soul of every person...now, it means nothing to most, nor does craftmanship/workmanship.

darks....you needn't be terribly accurate with me at all....I won't remember details like that...though I'm very detail-oriented with my work and handwork...I just don't remember numbers and stuff with numbers like engines, etc. I think my brain is too filled with so many things, I can't remember details about cars and such, lol.
