A Special Young Collector I met at Coolspring
« on: October 21, 2020, 09:10:47 pm »
This young collector has a great spirit and has already accumulated a lot of knowledge and understanding of his gas and steam engines and how they work. He knows enough to teach people about steam and gas engines.


Enjoy,


Gil

Love it, that's alot of what this hobby is all about. bring up the next generation to appreciate the early start of the Industrial age that is the precursor of things we now enjoy today.

The thing I most like about Miller is he patiently works it down to the slowest steady run that he can, instead of getting it to rev up as fast as he can. That is unusual in a fellow his age, I find.

Finally had a chance to enjoy the whole video  :)

That’s great to see Gil, and looks like he has access to the best mentors available  8)

By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those little engines running...
