    Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition 2024

    I don't know so much about the difference in standards, but I believe the Americans simply have too many other "fun" things to do, like watch tv, or eat potato chips, or go to mcevils for a fat burger or kill themselves with fentanyl. In short, I believe we Americans in general take the "bait"...

    Thanx for that. What you say is all true--only one missing component: personal interaction and drinking a cup-o with a cigarette.

    Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition 2024

    Absolutely fantastic. I have so many questions and no way for answers. I am always so amazed that the British have the positive culture of getting off their silly phones and going to see these type of events and MAKIING something interesting. Does anyone go to the wine competitions?

    A couple of engines for GreenTwin

    I would like to buy one of each kit, unfortunately it would be a fortune in iron and I don't have a fortune of gold, platinum or plutonium. We all lament the fact that so few kits are made that the cost is outragious. Too bad.

    Yes, this is why I build engines

    A couple of engines for GreenTwin

    I would really like to see some of those. While the bombing went on, there would be no centralized power but smaller (not necessarily "small") engines could be placed all over the city and there would still be a minimum of power available. I would like to see something like that done in todays...

    A couple of engines for GreenTwin

    I have a slightly different take on the large engines: They can supply actual power in an emergency. And there are emergencies happening every year. Texas power outage a few years ago, some storm on the east coast this year--we cannot stop the weather, but we can be prepared for the worst...

    Annealing gray iron castings

    I have no experience with that.

    Annealing gray iron castings

    Yes. Also, the James Webb telescope. It ran on and on for years, delays for what ever reason. Truly, I thot, I would not live to see it launched. But now the thing is sending back truly revolutionary information. Of course, it was not an emergency like war or cold war.
