My rebutal:IGUESS I was mistaken in wasting time typing something I thought answered the earlier interest question on the demise of steam power. I really thought my story was going to be posted under the previous quiery.In stead I seem to have been run aground by a few guys wanting to show how very hi tech their knowledge is.Having spent 40 years as Chief Engineer on all types of power and propulsion plants You might imagine that I did not just fall out of bed.I am well familiar with the efficiency of various power plants and did not take issue with those points.I did not state that the designer hauled around a wood wagon or coal bunker but thought that most intelligent folk could figure out that it was oil or gas fired with a closed system condensing engine. I tried to write a general interest story illustrating that it is indeed possible to install a steam engine in a compact package in a tractor.I am an old timer but not a smart elleck.With all of this hi tech knowledge why read a paper devoted to antiques.
