"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do--- his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies. He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"

I can't see why you're objecting to 50PSI steam -- was it leaking all over the place or something?

Sure looks pretty.

When you see these things on eBay, the usual "badge of merit" is that they run on 5 PSI compressed air. This has none of the gaskets fitted yet and only half the studs, so yep it's a bit leaky and yet it runs nicely...on steam there would be water everywhere!
