Micro Steam
Engine
I’ve always thought that the Technic
Competition Cannon 2 x 6 x 3 looked like the boiler from a steam engine.
When I came across it again taking the Wookie Catamaran apart a few months
ago I finally decided to take a crack at turning it into one.
An initial prototype came together pretty quickly and over the next few weeks
it eventually evolved into what you see here. Huge props go to Daniel Jette
(co-worker and fellow ParLUGment member) for giving me tonnes of great
feedback. Unlike me he actually knows a thing or two about trains. Without
the many discussions we had about pretty much every minute detail it never
would have evolved into it’s current form.
I’ve provided instructions as well. There’s a lot of friction based
connections but they are all quite strong. The only dicey one is the front
light. If it’s loose after you stick it in just rotate it until it’s tight.
The slots at the end of the half pin have to be oriented vertically otherwise
it will just fall out.
Enjoy,
J

Jason,
Wonderful model! While I am busy on other projects, some really cool workis
going on, and I feel a little behind the curve :-) !
Your micro work is very impressive - your farm was really cool at BrickFest and
this is great and a great use of a part!
Joe
