Missed getting one of those, but now kinda wished I had!

Oh well, as prolific as Jin (Microcosm) is, don't suppose I could ever hope to get them all .... and I certainly haven't!!!

So very nice .... all the details really make it seem like it is twice as big an engine than a Stuart 10H, or so it seems!

That Hercules certainly exudes all the classical powers of a mighty Hero!

What must it have been like to be a kid at the turn of the prior century, with steam toys like this in the dream books (catalogs) to choose from or receive as a gift!?!?

Nick, are you striving to get all the sizes? That would make a beautiful display.

Elegant.

Did Jin make it?

Here’s the manual that came with the helicopter

(Attachment Link)

When I posted the Helicopter, we were wondering about the OKMO manual. Well Jin now has a facebook with both Microcosm & OKMO listed
