Sandman That's really motoring, Stuart. You'll get a lot of fun with that one. I like the fact that you can get them up and running in seconds. Great video as well. Stitch1615 I had one years ago that ran well but got rid of it. I recently got another from eBay. It must be worn out because I have to heat it to about half the temperature of the sun just to get it to turn slowly. They are not really made to disassemble. It's a shelf queen. Alf Great runner   Swift Fox The PMR Stirlings are good and yours runs very well Stuart. A drop of meths and away you go. belugawhaleman A good runner benchmark Real power she packs. Very nice. Dean W Truly, a great runner! Stitch1615 Those were sold in the US by Martini Engineering and were manufactured by Solar Engines in Phoenix AZ. I bought one in the 80s and received a booklet bt Andy Ross titled Stirling Cycle Engines. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-li...olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new (A ridiculous price when used are from $10.) Original selling price was $40 domestic and $50 foreign. I'm not sure when the British version with the rain bonnet appeared.   Can't remember the name but believe it started with a "C".

Here is a little history on the Davies-Charlton brand from an old post. http://modelenginenews.org/people/dc_ltd.html Another interesting product of the company during these years was their hot air (Stirling Cycle) stationary engine, which sold for 30 shillings and was advertised as the "Hot Air Engine for boys of all ages"! These intriguing engines are much sought-after collectors items today among aficionados of stationary engines. http://modelenginenews.org/people/images/tn_dc_13.jpg Dampfmaschine Re: My first Stirling Engine [quote="Camst648:779764"] Dampfmaschine wrote: New PM Research engine from Forrest Classics.
