That's certainly a beast at 28kgs!

Love the “chunkiness” of that flywheel and the extra details like the oilers and drain built into the base 8)

At 28kg that is one big brute ..... but exceedingly lovely all the same!

With all the bearings and watchmaker precision, I'd expect that engine to be a true treasure!!

Major congratulations on making a dream come true!!!

Got this Mill engine finally after 47 years of "dreaming"
It was made by a Swiss watchmaker company in 1978 - price
was enormous then and way beyond my wallet. Now I got
this 28 kg monster for much less. The main bearings have
rollers and it is made to very high standard. The governer
has an integrated oil damping. I already tried it with
compressed air - steam will follow.
