I like that a lot Jim, it seems run exceptionally well and the fit and finish looks really good on it. I especially like your opening intro to your YouTube videos.
Thanks Bruce, a friend made that intro for me.

Here are the original instructions that came with the one I own.

I acquired it from another Forum Member who bought it in October 2015 directly from Wiggers.
Thank you so much Charlie, super appreciate the instructions.
Thanks again :)

Beautiful engine Jim. I own several Wiggers and honestly the fit and finish of that copy is first class in my opinion. Runs exceptionally smooth and true as you note.

I've only ever seen Wiggers on Youtube and they are jaw droppingly beautifully finished Rog, absolutely stunning pieces.

That actually is pretty nice Jim - if it weren't a copy of a Wiggers, and thus mentally compared to one, it would be great and I'm sure there's more than a small price difference. Do they make engines based on other Wiggers models?
Larry, I bought this one off eBay used. I haven't been able to find a lot of information about them.
I did locate this link from the 'maker' in India and they have two other models (further down the page) that they produce. I do wish they accepted PayPal though -
