Anybody got any links to pictures and/or videos from GEARS 2008?

Chuck: I talked to 3 people that went to GEARS this year. One said it was good but no vendors outside and the other two said there was only a couple of vendors and they thought there were fewer engines. The timing was probably the problem. There must have been some conflict with the later in September date and companies did not want to pay their employees for overtime holiday pay. (My opinions only)
I will see if I can get the fellows I talked to to post some pictures if they took any. I really wanted to go but family obligations-----
I hope somebody comes through with pictures!

Jason: Thank you for showing the pictures. I recognize several of the models and some of the builders in the background from last year.
One improvement that I appreciated from shows in years past is that they are now cards explaining what the engine is. It is really nice to see the engines but even better to be able to see what it is a model of, or at least the name of the model.
Thank You--------don

Hello all.

I just joined this forum and am browsing thru the many posts and found this one which I definitely can address as I am the webmaster for the site. I just posted the Show Pictures for 2008 a couple of days ago. I am late but I only recently got the pictures. I still have not received the Exhibitor pictures but should soon. I will post them as soon as I can.

that engine is an engine that was produced by paul berich, it is a loose copy of an associated chore boy engine.

it is a hit or miss governed engine, i don;t think any one is producing the kit any more. paul died about 10 years ago and the patterns were bought by a fellow by the name of jay peters and jay passed away a few years ago.

the kit came as air cooled or water cooled, i have the water cooled version and was called the lil brother.
