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

Hello Dave and WELCOME!

There are soooooooo many paths you can take here. So rather than make a specific recommendation of brand or type, I will instead recommend that you spend plenty of time perusing this Forum's offerings looking to find anything that especially strikes your fancy. There are wonders to behold throughout the different boards offered on this Forum, so with any luck you will find the search to be very enjoyable in its own right, and in the end will be far more informed as to what you might truly wish to have.

For the highest concentration of varieties to view, I would recommend the Office of Steam ~GLOBAL POWER-UP~ virtual engine shows that can be found at the bottom of the Forum index page as seen at these two sites:

https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/engineers-hall-at-our-2nd-annual-(2021)-global-power-up/

https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/engineers-hall-at-the-global-power-up/

Then follow up by visiting any or all of the other more or less specific boards on offer.

Of course, there is much more than just steam engines to see throughout this Forum's various boards, such as IC engines, Stirling and other Hot Air offerings as well, which hopefully will also prove interesting to you!?!?

Above all else, have fun with your search!!!

Just a query regarding your handle .... are you a climber perhaps?
