To celebrate our new model steam forum, I'm offering the following Esbit-fired engines and sealed fuel (1/2 a dozen or so boxes), shipped within the continental U.S. only. My treat (i.e., free to the first steamer who responds). All ran fine the last time I fired them. The new owner agrees to give them a good home and make a financial contribution to the Office of Steam Forum in an amount they feel is appropriate. No other catch. I can use the storage space for my model railroading projects and have lost interest in stationary engines (though keeping a gas-fired and an electric, just in case...
)
First to respond, first-served. I'll post again when someone makes a claim.

Run extensively and has considerable scorching on the boiler. Missing firebox door handle (so exhaust leaks out). Runs 5-7 min on 2.5 tablets. I removed the whistle (included) and used a plug from another engine (not included).
Mamod MM2:
Some cosmetic issues. Runs great using a Mamod steam car burner (included).
Mamod MM1:
Cosmetic issues and a solder repair (not mine) on the steam pipe leading from the boiler that didn't leak when I ran it. No burner. I flattened the spirit burner holder tabs so that I could use the KMV burner (worked fine).
KMV engine house:
Previously owned by Oz Steam Demon. Paint doesn't hold up well to wiping down. No other issues. Fun to watch.
