I must admit the brass flywheeled engines look nicer polished. I must add one to my miniscule stationary collection (which consists of one!)

Yes, but I've found the spring to do absolutly nothing and took both off mine!
You had better not repaint that Erik  or i'm on the next plane

I have no plans for buying engines now (I want to buy a car first now) but I have two engines that need work.
I have that realy rough looking SE3 G&G that needs a lot of work, and I have the bowman m122 that needs a good clean-up, so I got enought to do still.

I'm not stopping, just taking a pause in buying new engines
At the moment I'm also looking for a place to rent, to move out of my parents house, so I've quite some things that eat up my money.
But if anything special pops up on ebay... you never know.
