Model Shop

Model shops in the UK are either one of 2 types... Modern and well laid out. Or old and a collection of strange and wonderful models in faded boxes. Germany is no exception... Except that this model shop has a back room, that is only for regular customers... Seems we're an exception :) a veritable Aladdin's cave of goodies... One of which is this microscopic model petrol engine. Fully working at 0.01"^2 displacement, and runs at a astonishing 20'000rpm! For scale that's my index finger in the picture :)
