I liked this comment on youtube,

"It's only scary til you realize cars run on exploding gasoline."

Hhhmmmm. This leads to some interesting "flights of fantasy". Maybe a steam-powered railbike, done up in high-steampunk style...................

Another clip, shows up on the same page as the steam bike:

And while on the subject of non-railroad steam, check out this preserved rolling mill engine in Great Britain:

A work of art, indeed. . .

And a British pumping engine:

Leno has a home built steam powered motorcycle, chopper esque. Doesn't look like it was ever finished but will a truely awesome machine once it is. It consists of an oil fired boiler and a two cylinder engine mounted at an angle beneath the seat.

Sadly, I don't believe any pictures exist on the web.

Castings, drawings, etc. for this steam bike used to be available from Coles Power Models, now in Texas.
