[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 1523411, member: 6957"] I can hardly wait for this one, I am currently running an Iron Kingdoms game, and some of the players want to try their hands at 'jack creation and other feats of steam engineering. For me, I am interested in the more mundane creations of steam, trains and steamships, the things that really changed the size of the world. (Though the question of just how much pressure an adamantine boiler could take... You just might make the [URL=http://www.southernsteamtrains.com/aallegheny.htm]Allegheny 2-6-6-6[/URL] look like small potatoes... And she could take 260 PSI.) And for my next musical numbah... [b]Coal Smoke, Valve Oil, & Steam[/b] ([i]Johnny Horton[/i]) [i]Opening & Refrain[/i] Coal smoke, valve oil and steam My heart is sad - I'm living in dreams I can't tell why I love the smell of coal smoke, valve oil and steam I worked for the railroad all of my life To make a home for my darlin' wife But now I'm retired and feeling so low Weary and tired with a heart full of woe [i]Repeat refrain[/i] I pulled on the whistle to clear the line And to bring that fireball in on time Oh, time in your flight please take me back Let me hear the drivers click again on the track [i]Repeat refrain[/i] A short forty years went flyin' in on by Now I'm so lonesome I could die If I find heaven the way I've been told I'll roll an engine down a track made of gold [i]Repeat refrain[/i] (With thanks to the good folks on the forums at [URL=http://inthe00s.com/index.php]In the 00s.[/URL]) The Auld Grump, waitin' on the album.... Waitin' on the book... Waitin' for the PDF... Why can't the stuff I am interested in ever be in stock? [/QUOTE]
