Wiggers built HHV-08-250
« on: March 21, 2019, 07:56:31 pm »
First film of this engine I've had for 4 years but have only run in the last few months. 

I purchased this in early 2015 from Mr. Wiggers directly and it is my belief that he no longer makes these larger engines due to age and health.  He was a delightful gentleman to deal with via email and snail mail.

Here 'tis:

Great video Rog! Should have added a Wiggers to the collection when I had the chance to buy one new...

Rog-The Wigger looks like a well machined engine and the video was fun to watch.

The finish on this (like all Wiggers) is just superb.

Nice engine Rog! I believe the valve restricts air flow between the hot and cold cylinders to reduce speed.

A true work of art that one Roger !!!


In an attempt to keep my need for adding everything somewhat at bay, and knowing how i tend to react once a new brand of satisfactory quality sneaks in, i deliberately do not own any engines from Werner Wiggers myself.
But i have been a huge fan for many years now, and thank you lucky guys owning one (or more), for sharing these amazing engines with the rest of us.
