...steam engines

I have been following the television series on Big Engines presented by
Chris Barrie (Rimmer from Red Dwarf). Without a doubt my favourite are the
steam engines. These were built is the day when an engineer could build a
world changing technology in his garage (or coach-house maybe). Is there
anything more beautiful in the world of machines than a whopping great
beast of a gleaming steam engine. I don't like the silly little ones that
power steam rollers. I like the big ones that would power ships. Maybe it
is time for another visit the maritime museum in Southampton.

...Wikipedia

This is a great resource. I only discovered it from the Firefox browser.
And what a crazy but great idea to allow readers to edit the encyclopaedia
entries. I have just spent my entire luchbreak reading through it.
