Eric has it right, with only this heads up. There are a lot of younger younguns on the brass goggles site and they don't think about the real world facts of weight and real limitations of materials etc. So don't waste the typing time. Trying to explain somethings to them as they don't what to know it won't work. Coal fired boilers,driving slow speed steam engines, on airships using steam as a lifting agent. In the real world. Or them waiting for the old style steam cars and motor cycles making a full world wide come back.
It is a life style choice now like Gothic,new wave and punk. Evolved from a hand full of Sci Fi books and story lines. Some are dressing the part and decorating their homes and rooms. in the neo vic style
There are a group of older people that actually are quite talented in the area of construction and such, It is great fun most of the time. Other than when one takes it to personal, on God/no God or politics.
