Live steam running in the cold video

[Shawn]

I woke up this morning to a temp of 4 degrees Fahrenheit. I took the kids to school and had a some time to kill before work. What does one do. Most would sit by the warm fire with a cup of coffee. Not me. I decided it would be a perfect time to test out my Cricket in the cold using butane. I got the cricket fueld and lubed up indoors. Then it was time to fire it up and see if it would run. To my suprise it did. Not perfect but hey for 8 degrees thats not too bad It struggled on my two grades but if my track was level all the way around it would have ran fine. I did one run with it and shot a short video.
Yes I know Im crazy lol

Looks like fine clear crisp morning there. Nice video as usual Shawn. Love the stripped down look of the loco and that flywheel. Snow now at managable levels too.

Max.
