I was asked by the Stirling Kit company to review one of their products, a static steam engine by “Retrol”. – In this video I unbox and assemble this hobby kit of a steam engine and put it throught its paces.
I would recommend these kits as gifts for hobbyists between the ages of 16 to 80! – This one is great fun to assemble and then test and tune it to run.
A gorgeous looking model with lots of bling and moving parts which bring a smile to anyone that sees it, as a show piece on a shelf or a running steam engine with all the steam, sound and smells of the real thing.

Fred Dibhah loves this.
Do you need a boiler certificate under the new registrations?
As a child I also had a steam engine.
Thought this was made in England.
yeslook and sounds fun and now you got some thing to have nice hot cup or to two of tea LOOL see you ad rest in nest vid
You need to
Oil all
Points every time you run the motor
Lovely live steam model Marty, looks like a nice thing to build and own 👍
you need oil made for steam engines which is available in your area from Stewart Models but you likely know that. However the boiler may not be adequate to produce enough steam for long runs ?
Hi Marty. Love your channel. I also build model steam engines probably because I’m a mechanical engineer with an interest in steam. I have built several scale model showman engines, a working steam locomotive, a working steam crane and a few kits. I enjoy pulling them out in the summer and letting them lumber quietly on my back deck. Everything you did on your show including the compressed air is right on point. As for oil I use a special blend specifically designed for model engines. There’s a company called Wilesco in Germany that makes not just the model engines but accessories, tools and whole miniature workshops that can be powered from a stationary engine. Enjoy it’s a fun hobby but it can get expensive quick.
You must be chuffed.;)
Ti's a thing of beauty….
Really enjoyed this one. Always wondered about those machines. Looks like a nice biuld.
CCP Matchbox make over
Had a steam engine as a kid and learned that lubrication makes them run more consistently as suggested in many of the comments. Also you can prewarm the water in a microwave or on a stove – just be careful not to burn filling the boiler! You need a little funnel.
I love taking apart and reassembling my old Wilesco I received as a gift from my grandparents in Germany in 1962.
Don't you just love that sound ..I could actually fall asleep to that.
Really neat Marty!!! Nice departure from the Matchbox cars!!!
What a beautiful thing.
You've got such a great and relaxing way to present and enjoy your hobbies. Even when it's a video I'm not as interested in, I wish I could be there hanging out with you while you make them. Thanks for bringing your brand of sunlight to share with us.
It would have been nice if the bolts were tacked to the base. Great video!
Reminded me of the video makeover of the fire pump carriage and the missing brass part of the boiler pump combo doesn't it?
