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

Well, I just heard back from the German auctioneer.
He quoted 100-200 euros for shipping (sounds like a
'we don't want to do it' price) which is a lot more
than a year ago.  Then he answered the big question
by confirming that there is a long crack in the side
of the boiler.  Too bad on both accounts as I'd like
to have seen and worked with the geared valve setup.

There is always another engine to lust after.  This
one is too far gone and....too expensive to ship.

Thanks,
Wayne
