Full Metal Engine Model Kit, 84 PCS RETROL Stationary Beam Steam Engine Assembly Model with Horizontal Boiler Kit and Centrifugal Regulator

The media could not be loaded. This is a great little stream engine with a well made boiler and speed regulation with the governor. Assembly was straightforward, BUT DON'T OVERTIGHTEN THE REVERSE THREAD CRANKPIN! It's 2mm brass in the thread and shears very easily. If you don't want to be drilling out the thread and turning a new pin on a lathe, with a reverse thread die you've had to invest in, forego the spanner and finger tighten the crankpin. It's sufficient.

You should know that I bought this for my son last Christmas it has been looked after well, but the boiler has split so I contacted the seller. Who told me this should only last 6 months! No where on any information I've read does it state that and they wanted us to PAY for a new boiler. Jog on!

Great piece of kit .

Fine model good runner

It doesn't work.
