Yup, this has been up on Smokstak for a couple months now. Very cool demonstration all together. The Britts do this thing up nice. Wonder where they got the cannon though ?
Regarding the sound of the G-tugs, most steam boats, especially those used on salt water, had closed loop systems, running the exhaust steam into a condensor, thus, no chug-chug-chug would be heard from a tug or freighter.
True.......a nice sound. I look forward to hearing my steam tractor every summer. Ah......the smells of coal/wood smoke, hot oil hot iron, burning paint, and the sounds of the engine bark & whistles !
