That is really fun! I have not seen that Elmer before, I love it. Looks like everything is running nice and true, great work all round.

What a nice runner!  :ThumbsUp:  Like others, I haven't seen that particular Elmer's engine before.

I've built 2 Elmer's engines and really enjoyed it. I think I'll be up for another one of these days.

An intriguing design, despite the apparent simplicity it has an engaging motion akin to a pair of opposed wood peckers. Much of the delight in mechanical things, especially steam engines, is they are often approximations of living things. What's next? Regards, Paul Gough.

Like everyone else, that is the first time that I have seen that particular engine.  Very nicely done Arona and a fine runner.

That is just fun to watch, like dueling woodpeckers!

Very well done!
