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

 
First off......Merry Christmas to all, and a happy New Year!

 Dennis....thanks for the comments, info, and especially pix.
Mine is an exact match - except for the heater which is very
different (the power leads are the same).  Maybe mine is a
replacement homemade heater.  I don't know, but it is very
powerful/fast.  You can hear the early steaming sounds within
a minute or so.  Pretty strange, but I've read the Germans mixed
things up a bit w/models at times.  Interestingly, I have a
KJ Miller engine with a cracked boiler that leaks at the base
where the power leads go in and have never been shocked, even
to a low trace voltage degree.  Then again, I probably had
sneakers on and didn't go out of my way to give it a chance
to zap me.  Been there, done that.

 Now I know what the steam dome looks like.  Hmmmm, I need to
work on finding one.

  Also, the reason I referred to it as a Bing clone of a Weeden
is because I think (oops) that was the way it was described.  I
was also under the impression Dolls were made at the Bingwerks.

  Finally, could you shoot me a photo of the cover of your
reference book?  Great photos!
