Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I probably wouldn't have gotten one if I hadn't won it on ebay at a very reasonable price. Glad I did, if I had paid 1500 for it I would probably be a little more upset about it. Don't get me wrong for the full price it is still a nice engine. I build model engines and I know the time it takes to build one. There is no way I could build it for that price. I have several of Jins engines and for the money I can't complain. Most all of them I have refitted parts on and fine tuned to get them to run better. But that's the difference in paying few hundred dollars or paying thousands of dollars for one.
