You fill the train's water reservoir near the sink and turn it on. Slowly the water comes to a boil and begins to chug up a slightly inclined track. By the time it reaches the top of the track where the tea, cream and sugar is kept the water is hot enough for a nice cup of... the aforementioned beverage. Then place the train kettle back on the track to let it roll down the grade back to the sink.-- schmendrick, Sep 13 2005 I thought this was about making tea in the steam boiler of a train. That would make quite a lot of tea, wouldn't it?-- discontinuuity, Sep 13 2005 Just dont touch the third rail, YIKES.-- Antegrity, Sep 13 2005 [+], but it has to toot.-- Detly, Sep 13 2005 It would only be natural of me to vote for this.-- Coal Drag, Sep 13 2005 random, halfbakery
