Kacio mini steam engine company contact

Post by Drprez »

Does anyone have contact information for the factory that makes Kacio steam engines?

I have a small hobby store and want to carry their line of engines but am unable to find any information on who makes them or how to cotact them

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

If you dig thru Amazon, you can find the supplier info -> in PRC
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Is there really a local hobby shop market for them?

The suppliers on Amazon are just sellers they are not the actual factory. I’m looking for the factory.

Yes there is a hobby market that is why I’m looking to supply them. The other brands we can’t keep on the shelf. I sell easily 1000 a month

If you dig down into the Amazon info, you will find that the suppliers are in PRC ...which is as close as you can get to the factory. They may well be the factory...many of these industries sell direct.

I was wondering the same thing myself and if there's a store selling 1000/month of those that's a store I want to visit. Unless of course it's an online store in which case I would think it would be hard to undersell Amazon

Do you have an online shop? Can you give us a link?

What about small piston steam pumps, let's say of 2" height? Do you think they also would sell well, or only integrated with a steam engine?

I found some other direct supplier who is no competitor to Kacio: https://toyanengine.com/products/
Perhaps you can ask him via email if he knows Kacio or if he has some helpful contact for you.

By the way: Strange pricing - US$ 10?

Or only an error?

Might be worth $10 just to see.

Some appear to be electric models of IC engines.

Some appear to be legit hit and miss engines

Nah the start switch only was a little less than $10 the rest of the engine was quite a bit more when I went to purchase it. I too was thinking for $10 how could I go wrong but it was too good to be true.
