I'm relatively new to this forum so let's have some light-hearted fun and post stamps that have steam on them. They may show steam trains, boiling kettles, geysers or some other examples of the change of state of water to a more energised state. I'll start with a home grown stamp from Australia. Nail Biting

Cheers, Oldmanemu

Good one Phil. This was always one of my favourite 1960s US commemoratives. Love the colours.

On a cold morning, that buffalo would be snorting steam, too. Great stamp.

David, here's another one from...Puntland State of Somalia? I wonder if this is even a bona fide postal entity.

re: Let's see Steam on Stamps

David, the locomotives look like diesels to me. But, in the background of the $1.50 stamp is a steam ship. Also, the 40c stamp shows a couple of diesels pulling a passenger train. Passenger train diesels have boilers in them to provide steam heat in the passenger cars. You got it covered!
