This shows the operation of a steam powered machine shop. It's 30 minutes long but the steam supply is at the beginning, then various machines in action. I salvaged a pulley and pilliowblock shaft system out of a shop that was powered by a 5hp electric motor.

That's so awesome. The old DuPont water powered shop at the Hagley Museum looks very similar.

The system I got, the primary wheel in the system, which was driven by the 5hp motor, became the base for my coffee table. The top is a wood grid like you've seen on hatch covers in sailing ship movies, has a metal tag on the edge that says "First Class Only". The guy in the van who sold it to me swore it's from the Titanic.

A steam cab, I suspect is not old but a new steampunk creation.

I do believe the ProMod painters have cornered the LSD market.
