    Popcorn engine

    Ever see one of the old popcorn wagons?
    Back in the 40s my uncle salvaged the little steam engine out of one of those wagons that was headed for the junk yard.
    Governor is missing and the flywheel has been replaced with one that is bigger than it should be.
    Still kind of a neat old piece of history.
    Has been collecting dust in my dad`s garage for years. The other day I got it down, blew the dust off and took a few pics of it.

    Wisdom does not come with age. It`s just that as you get older you become less physically capable of acting stupid.
