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

The Sipp came from Scott's collection.  His widow drove it from Houston to my house in Plano.  I packed it in a Fed Ex Freight crate.  I worked on the packing for an entire day, but it didn't survive the trip.  The Base was cracked and the axle was bent.  My first failure shipping a steam engine.  I was heartbroken.  Thankfully, it ended up in Bruce's hands and I am so relieved that he had the resources and relationships to get it fixed.

Thank you Bruce for saving this wonderful engine.  You did a phenomenal job!
