Very cool Nick.

Just proves that Bigger us NOT always Better. 🤠

Thanks Charlie  :)  I love my miniatures, they sit very nicely on the wood bases of my Jensens and don't take up any extra shelf space  ;)

Just buzzes right along, don't it?

I was waiting for my Jenny Wren to fly to pieces the first time I fired it up :D

I believe they all have different flywheels too. Roly’s is pretty neat using a coin as the flywheel

Yes :)

I believe Simone and Roly Williams also have one.

I do have video of it on air.

Is this one yours, Nick?

I like the little engines; the first one I ever made was a Jenny Wren.

I'd love to see it running on steam.
