Appears to be really well made.

Bonjour Doug,
If you sell it, please let me know  ;)

I hope to build one of these and then sell this one. Not really being a seasoned machinist, I find it much easier to build an engine from castings if I have a completed and working model for comparisons!

Bonjour Doug,
Beautiful engine indeed ! You are lucky to be able to purchase it, as there is no market at all in France, impossible to buy one, this is why I bought several Microcosm or Enjomor ones which have not this patina.
if you want to get rid of it... ;)

I haven't even been to any engine shows this season, and this model Domestic engine arrived at my doorstep this morning!  All it needs now is a proper base and it will be ready for the show season.
