Nope! These are really well made toy steam engines that actually run. You fill
the boiler with water, and burn a little tray of solid fuel under it to build up
a head of steam. Some people build (or buy) miniature sawmills and other devices
that the steam engine can power. I still have the one I got for Christmas about
45 years ago and I still drag it out every couple of years and fire it up.
