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.

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
As a child I also had a steam engine.
Thought this was made in England.
Do you need a boiler certificate under the new registrations?
Fred Dibhah loves this.
That was great Marty! The Stirling steam engine is much nicer than the one I had as a child. It was made in Germany and ran on Esbit solid fuel and it was a lot of fun to work with. There were accessories you could buy for it but it was a one time gift and even in the 1960's it was quite expensive. Thanks for sharing this.
Superb Marty, I have always wanted one of those model engines by Stuart Turner in my old home town, Henley-on-Thames. I used to walk past the shop and see the machined and assembled models. They were always beyond my reach and ability, costing $600+ for a machined but unassembled kit. This, by comparison, is affordable. Well done on receiving enough subscribers to warrant a manufacturer sending you a model like that! I'd have one in a blink of an eye as long as Lucy isn't watching.
I hope you lubricated all moving parts
Hey Marty, have a look for this TV show …. Scouting for Toys – Season 1 episode 3 , some rare Matchbox cars went up for acution
Excellent bit of kit! Does anyone know where these are made?
Get a syringe to fill the fuel for less spillage. And a funnel would be a plus.
Thank you for this Marty. Gotta get one of these once my shelf of unfinished projects has room.
Great video, Marty, thank you very much. I was really thinking about ordering my own steam engine kit. I have to teach regularyly abaout the industrial revolution in my history lessons at school and this model could really come in handy.
Nothing worse than having sausage fingers glad there are no small washers 😅
Damn, I threw an eye on their website : that's not cheap… 🤥
Who cares if it works? It's beautiful!
Hi from Grovetown Georgia USA Marty I know you are the matchbox king but ..if I may ask ..I'm a tootsietoy guy and matchbox and I can't find anyone to get the heads for my terrible teddy hot rod cars and hot rod Herman any help appreciated sir thanks for your videos my friend 🙏
I have a Meccano steam engine, years old now but it still goes and is good fun.
Hi Marty. Ordered mine the day after seeing your post. Currently running full steam on the kitchen bench. So much fun!
Hi Marty what was the site for making decals for models please let me know 😊 😂
Probably all made in China
Did you tell Kevin to mind his paws around the engine?
YOUR JUST AWESOME👍👍👍
Have no way of reaching you but through here. Just checking in on you brother, hope everyone is well. Missing your videos.
Hello Marty my name is Burland L Morrow II from KANKAKEE ILLINOIS USA. Love your show and when I saw this episode on Stirling Kit Co, I looked them up to see what is going on with them and their products and I like what I am seeing. Keep up the great work. Mr. Burland L Morrow II from KANKAKEE ILLINOIS USA/50-60 miles south of Chicago Illinois United States of America,I 57 south exit 312.
I’m in need of a windscreen for a snow trac how do I go about finding one?
Nice! Think I’ll get one for Christmas – what a choice on their website, amazing models.
Definitely should have been lubricated.
❤WE WANT KEVIN!🐨
Oh wow this is fantastic!
One of the things that amazes me is that unlike most low priced steam engines the regulator actually works.
