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

As much as I would like to purchase 1 of these Holt style engines, for the same money I can purchase the new Toyan V8. These Toyan V8’s don’t have the several Serious Engineering drawbacks! I’ve thought a lot about this and in my opinion $1,500 is better spent purchasing the New Toyan Overhead Cam V8 engine.
I’d love to have both, maybe one day.

The Toyan is arguably one of the coolest available. However it does little for me as there is nothing to watch except a serpentine timing belt and pulleys which look the same stopped or at speed.
