Bengs kits

[paul1956Participant @paul1956]

Not wishing to hijack and off topic on someone else’s thread;

Has anyone here built on of the Bengs engineering kits and care to tell us what they think of them ?
eg https://www.bengs-modellbau.de/en/Horizontal-steam-engine-Danni/2171

It looks to be a good kit for the novice builder and two thirds of the price of a similar Stuart kit.

TIA

Brian John built a few of theirs but he does not seem to post much these days

Has anybody built Beng’s Danni Steam engine.

 

You could probably build one for less if you bought the barstock, the big advantage of their kits is that it is really just lathe work and drilling as they have done the majority of teh milling for you.

Updated like to the build details a sthe one of mine in the forum post above is now dead
