I wasn't expecting this to arrive until tomorrow. It came all the way from Texas to Pennsylvania. This is an early solenoid engine that I regrettably missed on ebay a few weeks back. During a discussion with Charlie (TX Lab Man) at the recent Cabin Fever show, I discovered that he was the new owner of that engine. It had not even arrived at his house before he left for Cabin Fever, but he graciously offered it to me as part of a trade for a generator I had at the show. As soon as he returned home, he shipped it out to me. I have been looking for one of these for four or five years, ever since I saw the first one at a show, and they always bring more than I am willing to pay. So, I am very happy to have this 100-plus year old toy in my collection!
Thanks again, Charlie, for being willing to part with it!
