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

  Good for you.  There is always another Empire engine to be had on EBAY.
You are getting a better one as the other had too many issues that its
rarity could not make up for.

  While the seller may have reasons for being non-communicative it is
a rude behavior and perhaps is a window into their character.  There
are plenty of honest steam sellers, with fair deals, selling on EBAY.
My only problems are related to shipping damage and compensation was
offered PDQ.

Happy steaming,
Wayne
