Gentlemen,
Having been a previous EOM winner it certainly wasn't my intent to submit something that might be nominated again. I do appreciate the nomination but like was stated previous, it's a shame that 3 projects like this have to compete against one another.

Jerry, what you mentioned about the diversity factor is so true. Just looking at these three fine examples reflects that clearly. A single Aero type engine, an unusual steam engine, and a multi cylinder IC engine. Something of interest for everyone. (maybe almost everyone ) Anyway the point being is that even with this fact being true we can and do appreciate them all for what they represent and the tribulations that were experienced by the builders along the way.
Now this was a tough vote to cast. Not sure how you guys do this but mabe once a year we can vote with engines in different catagories. The workmanship here is just awsome.
Thank you all for the motivation you give to me.

The "problem" with gbritnell's engine (and the rest of his work), is that I know I can never hope to attain that level of craftsmanship. :'( Induces permanent envy.
