WoW Benny, that was a great looking interdiction video, just loved it…

I was so lucky to have met Our Reverend recently, and see his collection, it was a awesome setup, It's ones of these events that I will treasure for life.
The French Radiguet, is an absolute master piece situated in a as if it was purpose made for it display case.
Top collection Benny

Off to a great first class start Benny - looking forward to seeing your great collection in depth. By the way, how's the outdoor railroad coming or has the weather played havoc with your efforts?

I had a busy day yesterday. Between fiddling with recalcitrant gasoline engines to cursing video that won't transfer out of my phone, I managed to get a few items up to present.
I planned to save these for the end, but I'm running out of time. So without further ado-

First-



This engine was built by the firm Maltete and Parent in Paris. This engine would have been built around 1876-1880, as Maltete left the firm after that and Parent focused mainly on the mechanical toy market. It is in original condition, with the only replacement being the SV weight.

Interestingly, I found this scrap of paper, rolled up in the chimney. It states "Patent Motor. Built by Maltete and Parent, 19 Rue Debellyme, Paris(the address on account for the company prior to dissolution). [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
