My original kit was lost in transit. The company promptly sent me a replacement with no hassles! I can’t praise Kiana in customer service highly enough! This is my third kit from EngineDIY/Teching and the first 2 went together like Swiss watches! Many thanks!
what do you think I think?
I have not put the engine together yet. I was disipointed that there was no assembly manual. I do not like having to down load the manual to assemble the model. I would much rather have something I can hold on to and go back and forth in the manual.
It didn't work. I am confident that I put it together correctly. It made steam but wouldn't kick over.
I bought the generator & street lamp “scene”. When belted to a Wilesco “D-10” steam engine the unit performed very nicely with a bright lamp. Question: what is the lamp voltage? Thanks.
I've never seen such a beautiful beam engine model with a fully working flyball governor, so I absolutely needed to buy this kit. Assembling was easy and great fun. And the little engine runs perfectly even for the first time! This is really a great high quality model that brings so much joy - I would buy it again without hesitation.

Loving putting it together, and the pdf instructions is a winner can't wait to finish and see it run 🙌
A very difficult & challenging build but a lot of fun building this set.
Good instructions. Definitely value for money.
Shows Microcosm's constant innovation. Well made, runs great, sounds great, good looking. A great gift
A fascinating little engine !!!! A nice engine for any mechanic enthousiast. It runs very fast
