Nice display. If I didn't have my glasses on, I'd think it was a video of wind farm.

I have to agree with Swiftfox Nick the Ross Yoke is my favourite and mine was the
last one.
Trevor.

Ah, so you beat me to it  ;)

Do you know if they were a one-time run? Or if they will build more?

Nice trio Trevor, i have three of these but mine are the solar models.

Quote from: Nick

If you were to pick just one, which one would you recommend I go for?

I'd say the twin model or if you wanted just the single, i'd go for the Ross Yoke model.

I’m really liking the copper model, unfortunately out of stuck... I have clicked for them to email me if it comes back in stock.

I forgot I do have one Kontax model, the Vulcan stove fan

Great little show Trevor and what a neat way to run them all together  8)

I really should add at least one Kontax to the collection...

I have been boxing up my steam and stirling engines in preparation for a house move, they are stored
in our loft on shelving. Whilst doing this i rediscovered a box of photo darkroom equipment which
included a dish warmer, perfect for running my LTD Stirling engines and here's the result, enjoy
