Hi Pete and all,
I don't know of the roundhouse in Toronto but using it as a brewery and
calling it Steam Whistle seems like a good idea. I can't say what the
massive pipe was for, a roundhouse was and still is a service and
temporary storage area where if they're not waiting too long steamers
remained fired up awaiting their next assignment. No, that's not what I'm
thinking of, a fireless cooker may be a steam engine but a very special
one. There was no fire or boiler, rather a tank for live steam under
pressure so it could operate in a hazardous area. When it was low on
steam back to the central boiler it would go for a quick recharge,
probably the origin of the phrase I'm running out of steam.

Possibly, you're under the trans-polar flight path. Now if you heard a
BJORK sounding like a frog with hiccups it was one of Bob's.
