Fendermain, I have never seen anything like the engine in your 3rd photo,  which must be your Regner live steamer. Very cool, or maybe I should say hot. Imagine that thing in the hands of a child?

Yes, I believe it was common to have alcohol fueled live steam engines as toys for children as far back as the end of the 19th century.  Actually, I had a stationary live steam engine as a child around 1960. It had an electric heating element that would plug into the wall outlet.  Not happening today!  My Regner was made in the small village of Aurach, Germany.  I currently run it on LGB track but it is adjustable to various gauges.  Fendermain
