Title: Unit Steam Engine (USE)
Post by: Neil on April 15, 2010, 02:28:37 pm

Can anyone give me a live link to the above topic please?

Unit Steam Engines. They fascinate me, and, as far as I can tell the only purveyour is.forest-classics.co.uk. They don't seem to know too much about them, nor want to as far as I can tell, and want to give out even less info. I have sent several emails, and you guessed it. Zippo!

They are only cheap stuff, therefore I can afford to muck around with them with not a lot of regard to the cost.

Someone has to make them! Who I wonder?

Also, can anyone put me in contact with this man please?

Edmar Mammini at  [email protected]

He seems to be the South American Guru on Sternwheel Paddleboats, and Steam Engines pertaining thereto. Why would you put your email address on your website, and it bounces every time. Some perverse joke, perhaps?
I have been trying to contact him for, let me see, (looks up diary), 3.5 years now.

Oh, well, I hope someone can help, I would be most grateful if you can.

Neil.

Try these, Tony Green steam models. Unit engines are under the Marine Engines heading.

So far, I have tried to evoke some interest from the sellers of the USE.

Thus far, not a jot of interest. (The agents must be making way too much money. In these times, I would really like to know their secret.)

If anyone knows another source of USE Engines, please let me know.

(Is it that hard to buy such a modest item?)

Neil.
