For what it's worth if you do some research occasionally you can find these full size engines for under $500 I currently have 4 different hit and miss engines that I've purchased in the last 2 years from $90 up to $300 I do still enjoy collecting the miniatures but I just thought I'd point it out it's some places you can actually buy the real McCoy cheaper than these Chinese knock off miniatures.
