Bob,

Thanks! I may be a little to proud on this one but it is a good runner. Three engines of this design were made all from a 3 foot section of 3x7 inch 6061.
Choice of blue with cast iron or green with naval brass.

Len.

Hi Doug,
 I did not have it planned. I am New York based so it might be arranged. I was investigating shipping and I weighed the blue yesterday and it is approximately 27lbs.

I said they. All 6 of they!
I have been talking to the new home of they. LOL.

Len, you also used the plural of engine in the thread title.

Sorry for the delay- I was not trying to keep it a secret. Lenn brought the original advertised engine to the Coolspring engine show, which i had agreed to purchase if delivered.
He also brought 5 more along for me to see- it was like turning a kid loose in a candy shop! Of course I bought them all, and displayed and ran them all week at the show. They were all exactly as Lenn had described them. My wife had knee replacement surgery scheduled immediately following the show, so everything got put on hold while I helped her recoop. I couldn't go far from home for the next 3 weeks and was kept busy being a "wife" to my wife, but i did get as far as the shop to build a couple engines and run all my newly purchased Herb Bedell engines. Of course, I can't keep them all, but the 2 smaller 1" bore models will certainly be the last (if ever) to leave.
Thanks Lenn, it was great meeting you and getting some great history behind the engines. Being Herb's neighbor must have been an incredible experiance. Let me know when you have another batch for sale!

Videos will come, when my wife is up to putting them on for me.
