Is it strange that this, oft-times frowned upon, (not real stills, they might claim) stilling site has so many visitors daily?
Is it stranger that members here often just chat and banter?
Friendly is as friendly does.

They had 3 boilers around the factory, were steam would be used to "fill" Sir James boiler.

The how is steam from another engine or source and the why could be for cost reasons, cleanliness eg food factory or safety eg mine or even distillery. They're called fireless locomotives.

Just a bit of fun...

Went to a museum this morning, the following photos are of a shunter I think it was "Sir James".
The strange thing is he's a stream loco, but he has no firebox..

Why and how does he work??????
