Nice to see you still got the 'might as well' bug Mr Ripley, some nice items there, especially the real steam D51.
Out of interest have any of you seen these 'air humidifier' units that produce a stream of steam? I just recently got a unit that actually runs off a USB socket, say for example a laptop or whatever. The reason I mention it? Well the actual steam unit is pretty small (built into the plug that goes into the reseviour (contains just water and potentially an 'essential oil' for scent), this is connected to a cable that goes to a small unit that plugs into your USB socket. Well I seriously wonder if it would be possible to extract the smoke unit and fit it in an engine, then all you'd need is a ~5v power supply (could be batteries) to run it

Happily collecting things all my life...
