Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I was bidding on this engine - it is an early one.  You
are very lucky to get an engine that runs at all - it is
not a very good design.  My experiences with Elektro's
taught me that.  The heater is the easiest thing to work
with.  The last one I bought had a working heater but the
engine is a non-runner.  I've replaced the engine with one
I had on the side and am now running it in with an Erector
set motor w/gearbox.  I'm such a fool for Elektros.

Congratulations,
Wayne
