Heinrici Hot Air Engine
This is a 1/4 scale Heinrici Hot
Air Engine. The engine stands about 21" tall with a bore of
1-1/2"
diameter & 2" stroke. The castings were purchased from
Norbert Keeley Model Engine works. The current distributer is Myers
Model Engine Works. 15929 Five Point Road. Perrysburg, Ohio 43551. (

(419) 878-6051 (They also have many
other casting kits.) I received an advertisement for this
engine at the time when I purchased the Ericsson castings. This
engine runs but not as steady or easily as the ericsson. Don't know if
this is a design problem or a builder problem. Probably the latter.
This engine runs on propane gas.
