Thought you guys might enjoy seeing my hobby. Historic engines and antique oil and gas feild equipment. I don't own this specific stuff, I visited a museum today.

I think I got the inbed working. The first time I saw the video, I knew that Cool Spring was on my bucket list.

The Miller is close, far away in the picture is the compressor. This would have been used to pump air to converted steam powered oil pumps a few miles away... this is called an "air lease"

Another Snow Engine video showing them at work pumping natural gas. So durable that they were still being used in 1989.
