Oh Yeah!!!!! This is one of those hit and miss steam engines! I saw one once at a state fair and it used a lot of water and burned wood to make the steam. They have to use ignition on these engines because the steam wasn't enough to make it keep turning over. I hear they even injected mono-hydrazine in the cylinders to get more horsepower. I wonder what one of these burning gasoline would sound like?
Or...maybe LP gas?
