Cute little engines, and they look well made.

There will definitely be a video once I get the kit assembled!

A big thank you to Dennis for his help in getting me two David Auld Steam Engines.  I got one fully assembled and one as a kit to assemble myself.

My understanding is that a friend of Dennis’ purchased all of the remaining stock of Mr. Auld’s estate and Dennis has been assembling new engines from the New Old Stock (NOS).

These are really well made engines!
