Callahan Inspired Cam Stopper Hit & Miss Gas Mill Engine Model Design by Doug Kelley Built By Joe Higgins 2021
« on: August 05, 2021, 08:56:26 pm »
Here is a recent addition. On a trip to Maine to visit my Dad and attend the Eliot, Maine antique tractor and engine show, we also met up with Joe and Dorothy Higgins and I was able to pick up a purchase agreed to last winter. 

It is a very nicely built completely fabricated with no castings by our friend, Joe Higgins, a fine model engineer. He does great woodwork, too!

Here it is back home at the Office of Steam where I filmed a nice run and uploaded the video.

Enjoy,

Gil

An amazing looking model...with a very nicely balanced hit & miss regulation for such a small engine.

Congrats and thanks for sharing Gil!

Really nice engine.

Thanks for the video Gil.  It runs really well.

Joe is a very talented machinist.

Happy to say I have one of his builds in my collection.
