So smooth and quiet running for such a "large" stirling.

Thanks guys. These are scarce but I wouldn't call them rare, although fewer here than in England where they were made. Lots of scale models of them around as well. This was their smallest production engine.

Whoa, that's a hunk of machine there, nice work Brent ! You always find the rare & obscure, I've never seen anything like this fine machine. Very nice resto work on this lovely piece.

Thanksl Not sure but definitely less than 1/2 hp; they were usually rated in "manpowers".

Very Nice!

Does that little guy have a known horsepower rating, possibly as listed in some old literature?
