I will add it to my list of engines that I want to cast. It will be item No. 1,472. My list is long. So little time; so many engines. .

Well, I am in the same boat (welcome to the club). It is not a matter of me spending on shows instead of golf or other hobbies. I don't have other hobbies, and I still don't have money for attending shows. Prices have gone up to the point that for me, I feel lucky to be able to pay bills, much...

Video of a Humber. Seems like a pretty advanced engine design for its time, especially the water cooling.

This page talks about a Humber motorcycle engine that was water-cooled, and it looks a lot like the engine in the first post. I think it is indeed a Humber motorcycle engine. Edit: On second thought, I think it is a Humber adapted for marine use, since there is a splined shaft out the back...

It does resemble the Humber on this page, but I am not seeing three cylinders. http://douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/motorcycle/motorcycle.htm .

I found this engine, but not the same (Gutbrod Superior). Interesting engine though, 2-stroke, with direct fuel injection in the early 50's. https://autotechnika.hu/cikkek/motor-eroatvitel/8890/az-elso-koezvetlen-benzin-befecskendezesu-gepjarmumotor The page is in Hungarian, but my browser...

This twin motor is listed on ebay. Says "water-cooled, not sure what it came out of". I would guess an auto engine ? Or maybe a boat engine ? Not sure really. Can't say I have ever seen an engine quite like this one. Any ideas on what this motor is, and what it was used for ? (not my photos)...

Some very nice engine builds you have there. I am sure you can pull off a Snow engine, although it may take a while. Do you have some plans to use as a go-by ? .

I will try to attach the video here. .

Its not a photo, its is a video. You have to follow that link. Does the video show up? Click on that little blank box. .

I had hoped to attend the National Truck and Car Museum show, but after I added up the cost of gas, food, hotel, and money lost from not working for 4 days, the financial hit was too much. Inflation has been significant, and the cost to attend a show this year is a lot more than it was last time...

Some of the things that jump out at me are the painting on the locomotives and the steam tractors. I generally don't recall seeing such eleborate paint work here. Some of the models are more complex than what I have seen at shows here, such as the compound steam engine. Overall, there is much...

I like that scale. .

That is a nice looking/running engine. Is it as large as it looks ? It looks big. .

There is definitely a striking contrast between the US shows and the UK shows. The UK folks have some stunning work for sure. .

I see this as a serious problem in the US, and I took note of this at the 2019 NAMES show. I call it the "blue hair club", with all due respect; walkers, canes, crutches, etc. (I am not exactly a spring chicken myself, and have a cane). No young people in sight. At another show (Soule, in...

Some most impressive work. You folks over yonder got talent. I like that Viking boat too. Lots of serious effort to set up a show like that. Thanks for posting; great video ! .

Looks great, especially that wrinkle paint ! .
