I have one of the vertical ones (Jenny Wren) - great little engines! I've recently discovered that it was originally a Tubal Cain design.

Crabfu - the owner of the beam version in the video - isn't a member of this forum but he is a member of the Yahoo Toy Steam group. He's an amazing experimenter with steam engines. See his web site at: http://www.crabfu.com/

I have some information about both, but not much. It's just what was supplied with the Jenny Wren kit. If I remember rightly, I uploaded a scan to the files section of the Yahoo group. Pity we don't have that facility here. If anyone wants a scan, shout up.

Email the scan to me, Roly. I'd love to see it. Thanks.
