Thanks Tommy and Daniel, I haven't even had a chance to steam this yet as heaps of things have popped up that needed attending to.

I just really hope that these companies keep bringing out such quality engines for us hobbyists!

I like that a lot. I may have to look for one of these.
Thanks Jim, you might have just cost me some more money.

He seems especially good at doing that ..... doesn't he!?!?    ;c)

This is such a cool engine to build and I had the absolute BEST fun building it! This is a super quality steam plant, the moment I opened up the box, I was blown away with the quality of engine castings/CNC and quality of all the parts. Fantastic packaging and the absolute best user guide/build guide that I have seen.....32 pages!

I hope that we are treated to more engines like this coming out of China, what a boon for collectors and hobbyists to have access to newly made engines of this quality.
