Pete, welcome to the "PhilCraft" club...I have the horizontal "Lilliput" and it runs with that same precision.
Delightful pieces the love to run!

A beautiful little engine that runs very sweetly.

Yes indeed ... I just love the engine. First saw one at the STiA and it was a 'must have'.

I think we should be claiming compensation from Roly

Actually a little bit more than £70 ... but certainly well worth every penny.
Roli, I did think about getting the Lilliput but my heart was set on getting a Jenny ... it is just so beautifully proportioned. According to Phil, my Jenny is slightly different in that is has an exhaust tube.
