Creo que el GF-01 es un accesorio magnífico para complementar las calderas de vapor miniatura, ya que permite aprovechar la energía mecánica del motor para generar electricidad y al mismo tiempo tomar energia desde la polea del generador hacia el GF-01. En mi caso, tengo el modelo SE-02 de Retrol y funciona de manera excelente. Sin embargo, tuve que realizar algunas adaptaciones en la disposición y colocación de ambos equipos para conseguir un montaje adecuado.
Actualmente, estoy aprovechando la energía generada por la caldera desde la polea del generador del SE-02 para alimentar el GF-01, debido a que el diseño del primero no me permite transmitirle directamente la potencia mecánica desde la polea del volante. Esta limitación se debe principalmente a la disposición y al acceso a la bandeja del alcohol, cuya llama calienta el depósito de agua presurizado de la caldera. A pesar de este inconveniente, la solución que adopté me permite integrar ambos equipos y disfrutar aún más de las posibilidades que ofrecen estos fascinantes motores de vapor a escala.

What a great find. Vintage classic comes alive. Quality through and through. Great family project ki. Built 4 and never get old. Enjoy your steam
We're thrilled to hear you love the steam engine kit! It sounds like a fantastic family project. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy building!
Just got t today. Packed well, arrived in good condition. Assembly involves screwing in a valve stem and the hot bulb by hand. No wrench marks needed. Runs nicely. Speed control works well. Runs a long time on 1cc of iso. A win in the engine casino, har!
We're thrilled to hear your engine is running smoothly and that you enjoyed assembling it. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy experimenting!
Starts very easy and sounds real! Good quality!
We're thrilled to hear you love the MUSA Hoglet V-twin engine! Thanks for sharing your positive experience. Enjoy your model!
Great product as always. My 13th Teching engine.
Thank you so much for your continued trust and support! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your Teching engines. Looking forward to your next build!
Purchased the Okmo B02 engine recently. Very happy with it. Took a few weeks to get to grips with it. Learning the fine tuning does take time especially if slow running is preferred. Watch the Okmo online “tuning” video for great tips maximising performance. Even the far more expensive engines IMO run to fast (hit and miss variety) the B02 is a delight to get going and watch.
Needed some parts, you supplied them at a very low cost and fast shipping.
I have never seen a mechanical kit of so excellent quality and function, to a so good price. Package in a foam case in a carboard box. Good step-by-step build instruction with a list of contents first. All parts fitted exactly with no compromises. I built it in half an hour and it worked perfectly on first try.
Are you looking for a miniature workshop to run off your steam engine or hit & miss engines?
I recently built the Retrol GF-01 Workshop and am very impressed with the build quality of the parts and components.
I have a Mamod & Jensen Workshop, but the quality of the GF-01 totally surpasses both of these.
As soon as you open the box and see the parts, you're going to be impressed.
A workshop adds a completely different aspect to running an engine, and the scale is perfect for a diorama.
Cheers,
Jim
The RW-BL1K steam plant is a quality steam engine and boiler kit, the moment I took the lid of the box I was just like 'WOW'!
Such an enjoyable build, the parts are precision made and comes with all tooling necessary to complete the build.
