Default Re: River City Sand & Gravel

I built a model steam engine and here is a link to the first test run on compressed air.

I have a few small things to finish and I also plan to order a boiler kit to Power it.

I thought about trying to incorporate it into the sand quarry, maybe run a conveyor belt or a crusher that I would like to also build.

Anyone have other thoughts or perhaps seen photos of prototype operations that would have used steam in a similar setting?
