Mike runs his Saint Class miniature live steam locomotive at Yeovil. He built it during lockdown and the locomotive has become quite infamous throughout social media.

If this tickles your fancy, check out Blondihacks on YouTube. She has educational content on machining derived from her own journey in hobby model engineering. I don’t even own a lathe but fully enjoy her humble and witty content.

+1 for Blondihacks. She taught me how to use my lathe. Someday I hope to add a mill to my toolkit and will go straight to her for more lessons. Highly recommend her YT channel!

Pretty sure that was a plot point in one of the Thomas The Tank Engine stories; about Henry, I think.

I wish i could show you something that i saw earlier today that ties both our comments together. Just know it's horrible and perfect.

That's really cool, but do these sorts of models have any safety mechanisms to prevent them from becoming mobile pipe bombs? That thing is pulling a fully grown man, so there must be a lot of pressure in there...!

There would be a release valve, both manual and auto. Tabletop steam engines used to be popular toys.

@OP may have misunderstood the meaning of infamous.
Infamous has a small range of meanings, and none of them are ones that most people would care to be described with. It may mean "notoriously evil," "disgraceful," or "convicted of an offense bringing infamy" (infamy is "evil reputation brought about by something grossly criminal, shocking, or brutal").

As in Roosevelt’s radio address after the Pearl Harbor attack, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy...”

OK Thanks.
BUT :
- I'm french, and not used to the latest terms found on social media, that I even do not use...
- I just copied the text found on reddit because it would absolutely be better than anything I could eventually lay... Now if the poster on reddit used it, eventually discuss it with him.
- It tickled me too anyway, but who am I to disagree ?

In your defense, that term "infamous" is sometimes used humorously to mean "well-known" in a friendly sort of way, like calling your British friend "Oi, cunt!". But the dictionary publishers haven't officially recognized that, yet. By the way, I only have admiration for any speaker of the French language, which is infamous for its difficulty.
