 If you aren,t familiar with this company you should check it out! This is the first time I had run across this company. they have some great generators for model engines as well as a huge inventory of accessory parts. Their shipping to the US is very reasonable as well.
Enjoy!

Thanks Doug.

I have seen a few of their items on eBay, but I hadn't found their website.

Some very nice offerings.

Thanks for the post!

  I especially like the steam turbine generator set, I have seen it on e-bay. Out of stock at present.

Photos of their steam plant combined with a model railroad on the Gallery page are impressive.

I agree with Jim, their steam plant integrated into a model railroad is interesting, something I might try.

Love his stuff.  I need his boiler but out of stock.  The cast iron makes these especially cool.  I have the tourbine and some generators and lamps i just love.

Please if anyone knows about more boilers!!

Impressive, I know the Rider Erikson's don't make a lot of power.

Hope that helps,
Trevor.

I love the generator, the casting kit for that looks like a fun project.
voltage from 6v to 24v at speeds from 200RPM to 1000RPM.
