I think you made the price stick in my mind Vance!
How can they make it for that price?  That is amazaing.  Are they making
pistons with rings or just metal to metal?

"Maybe I saw the Big Boy before and immediately forgot it because it's out
of my area of interest, but when I read the suggested price it stuck this
time: would you believe 4850 Euro? (That's US$6300 at today's rate.) We just
saw an unbuilt Aster Big Boy go for $17500 on eBay; this guy could have save
2/3 of that and a LOT of building time if he could have waited until next
year...
