Wish I had 4.5K spare. This thing is beautiful.

Very nice. I've seen some very well made miniatures and model scale steam engines over the years.
One of my projects for the summer, is to build a small Sterling engine, that hopefully I can make work from the heat of my wood stove. I have no idea why I want to make one, aside from the fact it is a very cheap thing to build, and I would get to watch the flywheel spin around.

A worthy project for Keith Stewart. See "Trustee from the Toolroom," Neville Shute's last novel.

Put a fan blade on your Sterling engine and circulate the heat.
