Tarot Large Scale Stirling Engine

I've wanted one of these for awhile, very nicely made for the price.

Runs great  :)  That bit of red paint was a very good choice on those spokes, factory or done by you?

Hi Jim, it's a great addition to your great collection. 
It looks great and runs great. Looks very well executed.
Like Bruce.... I might also like it a little too much.

Well Jim,
I liked it too much. Had to order one! I have built a couple stirling engines- it made buying this one seem like a bargain at the price.
Thanks for sharing yours with us.

I just seen them on the internet for $50.00 and free shipping. I didn't recognize the site.
QRAAXH ? Good price but I don't know them good enough to open an account.

Yeah that's the place and the price. Never heard of them before or where they're at so I backed away.
