Don't know about the beam engine but the Chiltern kits are great in general.  Everything goes together well and, to my mind, are similar to the old Cotswold Heritage kits.

These Chiltern 4" boilers look very similar to my Australian 4" MSM boiler

Both the Chiltern beam engines look nice, I don't remember anyone saying that they have bought one.

They look nice running on some of the YouTube videos I've seen.

Anyone have any experience with Chiltern Model Steam's Beam Engine? How do the kits go together?
