An urge came over me to find a model engine kit to assemble and came across this great German manufacturer whose kits are all based upon the Stirling engine principle.

I have no connection with this company at all but think I should share it with you.

The opening video is lovely (give it a few seconds to load) and then if you click on "engines" on the top menu then you can hover over each engine picture and it makes its own characteristic sound smile

An excellent website - not sure I can afford their products though!

"Classik Smoking" for me please. That sound cloud9

Mind you, the 4-cylinder "Max Tattoo" is ultra cool, and has got to be worth getting, along with the Ferris wheel smile

I think they are pretty reasonably priced for what they are.

I will be ordering...thanks OP
