That actually is pretty nice Jim - if it weren't a copy of a Wiggers, and thus mentally compared to one, it would be great and I'm sure there's more than a small price difference. Do they make engines based on other Wiggers models?

Beautiful engine Jim.  I own several Wiggers and honestly the fit and finish of that copy is first class in my opinion.  Runs exceptionally smooth and true as you note.

Larry, I bought this one off eBay used. I haven't been able to find a lot of information about them.
I did locate this link from the 'maker' in India and they have two other models (further down the page) that they produce. I do wish they accepted PayPal though -

I've only ever seen Wiggers on Youtube and they are jaw droppingly beautifully finished Rog, absolutely stunning pieces.

I like that a lot Jim, it seems run exceptionally well and the fit and finish looks really good on it. I especially like your opening intro to your YouTube videos.

I love the opening of Jim's videos and the ending makes the cats jump  :D

Great runner Jim, and thanks for shouting out the forum in the video  :)

Here are the original instructions that came with the one I own. 

I acquired it from another Forum Member who bought it in October 2015 directly from Wiggers.
