Neat little guy.

Are you bidding on it? I asked the seller if he would sell just the 3 - 020 engines, after no one bid on it the first time it was listed! This 2nd listing now has a bid or two..so there (they) it goes! Just note one of the peewees is throttled!

I really don't see the potential of it having flown. Looks a little chunky and heavy. Also, I'd think getting 3 tanked Pee Wees all running at the one time would pose a challenge.

No, I'm not bidding. I'm surprised that there are two bids. I agree with Rod, it would never fly. Wheels enable it to taxi around though. Got a kick of the uncontrolled elevator hanging down. An oddity but not quite steam punk.
