This group is for those who want to exchange information with other like-minded folk who are interested in steam powered toys and accessories, new or old, one-offs made at home, or commercially produced steam toys such as Bing, Burnac, Bowman, Empire, Fleischman, Jensen, Mamod, Märklin, Mersey, S.E.L., SteamCo, Wilesco, Wormar, etc. Also to help like-minded people find parts for repairs or for making their own simple toys that capture the fascination of machines driven by steam. The occasional mention of Stirling and Vacuum Engines may be found along with Traditional Tinplate Toys.
All members are welcome to add PHOTOS but try to keep them below 60KB.
You may have a relevant BUSINESS and a topic arises that you feel you could help with via your commercial side, or you may have a toy steam related item FOR SALE or a WANTED item, then a single message bringing this to the attention of others is fine, but conduct the sale off group.
LINKS, FILES and DATABASE sections have projects and general information plus lists of suppliers of steam engines, spare parts, materials etc. If you want to add to these pages send details to the Group's owner.
If you don't know how to start and would like some ideas then this should be the place to look. All are welcome. To see my own collections go to PETE'S MECHANICAL TOYS.New member’s messages may be checked before posting. Please maintain a working email address.
Applications to join the group must be via this home page only and should include a reason why. NB ALL APLICATIONS VIA EMAIL ARE AUTOMATICALLY DENIED!
