I need a bigger battery

I guess that’s why they are doing it with Live Steam!

Then you need bigger water and fuel tanks. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

(pretty sure battery would go further and be less trouble, but that little steamer looks cool)

Thanks Joe! I recall watching that also but couldn’t remember what it was called. I was thinking they used OO scale as that was what James May had as a kid.
