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.

That is awesome, And I LOVE your solution to micro fig scale track, perfection!

Thanks Tim!

The only problem arises when you want to introduce a curve into the track. I haven’t figured that one out yet. :)
