I was watching this little nickel plated SP1 stationary engine, I do not want to collect Mamod....BUT...I do like the small footprint or entry level stationary engines. This one went all the way to $150! A careful shopper can bag a clean Wilesco D16 for that with $ left over. I suspect that Wilesco is Just more common here in the USA? Can anyone tell me another reason the Mamod Stationary engines seem to go higher?
  I have seen some go for low $ but they tend to be bare brass boiler units with Very Shoddy solder repairs....

Hello Jan, you are correct! I think I have mixed this auction up with a similar NIB ad...the other one only showed the box art and I incorrectly assumed Nickle plate from the box art.
  EBay sent me this ad and said "no longer available" so I thought it was the one I was keep an eye on!
   I went to the link you posted and can easily see it is brass boiler by the photos of actual engine.
   Now I know these are no longer made the price makes more sense...Sorry for my confusion!

Yup, it's not in good condition, but rare enough there bidding it to the moon!

I am hopful to find a small stationary with the black chimney off the back of boiler for not a lot of $
