Did a gift exchange with Charlie today, and, he surprised me with this as a Xmas gift!!!!!!! Beyond stoked to get this put together.
Thank you so much Charlie!!

Seems to be a popular purchase right now. I considered it. Looking forward to your review Travis. 😊

It’s a fantastic runner. It can run on just 3 PSI, or an aquarium pump.
The craftsmanship on it is astounding. It is a real pleasure to look at, as well. Clean, and well crafted.
Definately worth it, @ SPS.
Charlie’s generosity is unmatched. This little engine will bring lots of joy to come & looks GREAT along with my other steam plants.
I tend to be a “steam plant” nut. I like how small this one is and still is a very awesome plant.
Wow what a great Christmas gift I've been wanting to purchase 1 of those too but haven't been able to afford it yet for something out of china it's actually quite impressive!!!
The engine's on these are very nice, I was super impressed with mine.
Not so sure about the two boiler ends not being soldered in though and just held in place and made waterproof
by the internal brass stay and two large 'O' rings on each boiler end.
Mines had a workout from my grandson and its stood up to that well, but I think when I get some time I'll solder the ends in.
I have also ordered one of these brass switches to see if it will fit, not a fan of the dinky plastic switch as I feel it takes away from
what is a really nice looking steam plant -

Travis made a nice modification to the whistle last night that really makes it scream.
Hopefully, he will post about it in this thread.
