This is our solar PV array that tracks the sun. I used it to power all the lights in our home in Hamilton and when we moved, never got around to re-installing it in Waubaushene. Now it's in and soon it will power the garage, shop and garden shed.

Finally, it's alive! At least it goes forward now and seems to run OK. A bit stiff and the brake disc is a bit grabby from sitting. A few more bugs to iron out, but great progress now! Ken.

In answer to someone's question on the Google Solar Cooking group - " will a GSO (Global Sun Oven) work well in cold climtes like in the mid to low 'teens?" While this is not a GSO but a homemade 60/30 oven, the designs are very similar and so are the results - answer? Yes! Enjoy, Ken.

This is a Roundhouse Engineering "Lady Anne" live steam locomotive that was converted from butane gas firing to a "C" type alcohol fuel system. It is very similar to that used in the Aster Hobby locomotives. It was converted some years ago by Peter Trounce for an event known as the "Lady Anne Steaks" - which has now been renamed to the NNNU (naughty Nellie nosh-up). 'Nuf said... Ken.
