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

Really all our engines are worth what someone else is prepared to pay whether they are original or not, and really is originality that important if it appeals to the individual. How do you define originality? never had a gasket replaced , never had a gland repacked , never had a pipe union soldered, a piston ring replaced, asbestos lagging changed for safer material. Personally I do not know the answer but simply enjoy my engines
