Does anyone know where to get these models anymore? I thought that I bought them from London War Room but they're apparently out of business. I'd like to get parts to repair them and/.or buy more. Anyone have any of these cool models they've got laying around and would want to part with?

I have my own engineering explanation of how a tripod can work, but I like your idea of a steam piston counterweight a lot!Frank Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925901055702288584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956844443361957043.post-40068040779911550402011-07-06T10:11:56.023-04:002011-07-06T10:11:56.023-04:00I always liked the Gyroscope idea, a quicke peruse...I always liked the Gyroscope idea, a quicke peruse of wikipedia indicates the concept goes back to 1817/1832 but the first functional ones were in the early 1900's thanks to electric power.<br /> <br />Personally I wouldn't have a problem with some mad scientist coming up with the steam gyroscope if he's smart enough to invent a walker.
