The kit is Complete.

Notes:

It runs rather nicely (smooth Big Wheel motion) on the music box belt drive. I am happy I took the time to Lube the Gondola's, as they are constantly turning on there axles and they weigh very Little, a small amount of drag might cause them to not stay hanging true Vertical.
  It plays "around the world in 80 days"  is a tune I am not familiar with. I liked Bruce's music movement better because I knew the tune.
  All in All I do recommend the kit to those persons gifted with just a pinch of patience (you know who you are) ;)
  I am on a mission to borrow a small bench lathe tomorrow, so who knows when I will get time to convert this to engine power.
  Based on the small box the kit comes in the wheel turned out looking larger than I thought. It measures 13 and 3/8 inches from ground to top of Wheel.
