Strong runner, and that’s even with the single wick... If I remember right, you could order them with a double wick

Nick I guy on a FB group reckons he's made touch with Ian and quote "He says he hasn't finished one in about 7 years but he has a few unfinished ones left" and he's buying one.

Facebook is about the only place that I have seen Ian active in a long time (he’s not even active on his own website). He had a couple other neat builds that he never put into production probably due to how hard it was to sell enough of just the one engine.

I would love too get some more pre-war Mamod/Hobbies parts from him as his work is among the best, but it’s too hard getting ahold of him... :-\
