New Display for my Jenny WrenI know you all have seen the Jenny Wren, but have now found a proper way to display it when not in use

I think the word I'm looking for is "exquisite"

Very nice mate!! |

I think the word I'm looking for is 'jealousy'!

Perfect display for a perfect engine...perhaps it will protect it from your curious cat!!! |

Cool display, you could probably put it in a snowglobe filled with oil  Just a thought.

Wow John, it fits perfect in there.

It looks as if it was made to measure, a very fitting way to show off your Jenny Wren.

Is this engine a" one off" or commercially produced

THE Jenny Wren and the Lilliput are made by Phil Gravett They are made upon ordering them. The Jenny Wren is the Vertical and the Lilliput is the Horizontal version of the same engine.
I opted for the Vertical because at the time I dint have a vertical. It runs like gangbusters, and is such a fun engine to operate. It is the perfect engine to show to non steam friends as the small size is so fascinating, plus they run really fast. Contact info can be found here http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about8985.html Not one off, but not that common either, but several forum members have them. Well worth the money, and I am tight fisted so I mean it when I say that. For size relation, here it is with my SE2

That's a watch display dome isn't it? Fits it to perfection
|
| johnreid |
Yeas a pocket watch dome I bought a bigger dome for it and it was WAY too big, so now I either need to sell the big dome, or eventually buy a nice smaller engine to display in it  Just not as small as the Jenny Wren. I bought another case to put my Grandfathers Pocket Watch ( Hamilton, White Gold Case from the very early 1900s ) in , it arrived broken, but the seller said not to worry another is on the mail.

Fantastic display. Saw the item when you were buying it on E Bay, but had no idea it was such a perfect fit.
Either of Philcraft's duet thoroughly deserve EOTM. I agree wholeheartedly with Gil on this one.

John, how big is the big dome? Too big for a nice silver pocket watch??? |
| johnreid |
It is big enough for several pocket watches and a clock to go with them It is bigger than the description. |
| James |
Ahh! Has it more than one watch stand in it? If it could house 3 or 4 that would be great! |
