Oh Hell Nick ..... you are still most of a dozen short of the whole "J" series Microcosm (OKMO), Jin sourced Stirling Cycle engines, so if you have a problem, it is just the missing members of the clan.

As far as you only collecting "STEAM" engines ..... I'd say that all your accessories rather seriously belies that lame assertion!

Nice family portrait, by the way.

I will have to include my nice 1/2 HP Sipp soon if you like the previously posted one ;)

The majority of my collection and most of my 1880-1930 engines are at another location so I haven’t been able to include them yet…

Day 280: recently picked up some Lutz Hielscher pieces from MiniSteam’s warehouse clearout. Doug posted the dimensions, but they’re even smaller than I was expecting… so small and simple but I love them!

That has to be the perfect accessory for running with a "J" series Stirling!
