Lego Rebuilds the Hit-and-Miss Engine, and It Runs

A builder has made a hit-and-miss engine out of Lego that actually runs. The hit-and-miss is an antique design that has long since gone out of use. Reproducing it in toy bricks meant working out several clever mechanical fixes along the way. For anyone who restores old iron in a garage, it is a nice example of patient craft, and proof that respect for old machinery can show up in some unexpected materials.
