Had another Great time at the show for my second year in a row. Met up with many forum members including Charlie, Bruce, Gil, Jeff, Carl, Len, Doug, George, and Clif, sorry if I forgot anyone! Also made it to Ed's the night before, but no footage from there... I'm sure Gil and Charlie ended up with some.
These first two videos are engines built by George Britnell (gbritnell)
1/3 scale Ford 302 V8

Thanks for that Nick .... George's work is most certainly very impressive .... VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
Wish I could have spent longer talking to George, only stopped to say hello... his table was always busy
Here's our own Gil and Doug with their 1/3 scale Domestic verticals

Yes Carl, it was very nice talking with you

Here's a nice, loud one from Ron Colonna that grabs everyone's attention while running

Truly amazing what these fellows can build, but I think what is left of my hearing has a strong preference for Steam and Stirling engines.

Haha these larger gas engines did a good job of rearranging Simone's miniatures in their little cabinet.

By the way, Ron Colonna is a master craftsman with steam as well:

I'm vicariously enjoying this show via your vids Nick, thanks for posting them up.

It was a great "forum meet-up"!

I wish you could make it to one Jim, and I really wish these shows happened more than 2 or 3 times a year... but I guess for those involved, even once a year is probably enough
I wish some shows like those would show up out in the far West sometime. I guess there is something like that in Los Angeles once a year, but I just don't go there for anything short of a life or death situation, which I think just going there creates in the first place.

I think your next closest option is Clif Roemmich's show in Rapid City, SD. But that is still probably pushing a 20 hour drive for you...
http://www.blackhillsmodelengineeringshow.net/index.htmlClif had a very large display at NAMES and I believe it's an 18-19 hour trip for him
great vid's Nick, I had made one just a bit over 20 minutes....turns out YouTube doesn't like videos over 15 minutes....lol
