The model run was quite short so they are possibly quite rare. To my knowledge there is only one other video on YouTube of this type of engine.

I went to the website for the magazene that had these as kits every 6 months or so, and they have absolutely every single old invensions as kit forms for under $20! put-put engines, record players, pin hole camera, and even a 16mm paper colour projector.

Just a reminder, this engine isn't that pretty compared to other stuff they sell.

*this is not a spam or enything.
