Obviously you wouldn't need something nearly that large, but it does illustrate the point.
BTW, it's actually not a steam engine, but rather one of the early diesels ("oil engines"). Given we we coming out of hte steam era, most early internal combustion engines bear a strong resemblence to steam engines. I've even seen one or two old antique gas hit and miss engines that we converted from steam engines.
