This is primarily directed to Robin, since he's building Hogwarts.  I'm
pointing out that "bar that connects the wheels" (the technic plate).

Thanks, Bryan.  I've got both these pics already saved, along with
many others.

I tried doing connecting rods like this last time I did a steamer, and just
could not get them to run easily without binding. If you can do it, Robin,
more power to you, but we may have to sacrifice looks for reliability.

Exactly the problem.  Either the piston binds (or snaps off somehow),
or the connection to the drive wheel doesn't quite work.  I haven't
seen or come up with a rock-solid reliable method as of yet (a "pure"
lego one that is).
