E.H. Myers & Bro Side Shaft Gas Engine Scale Model with Vertical Governor built by Ellis Smith now Running Slower
« on: September 19, 2022, 08:25:21 pm »
Here is a real nice, like new E.H. Myers & Bros Side Shaft Gasoline Engine scale model with a Vertical flyball governor.

Ok.... they are not balls as they look more like weights. I think flyball still fits and is easier to write than centrifugal.

I got this from my friend Ronald McClellan who brought it to the Rough & Tumble show (Kinzers, PA). A big thank you to Ron. Bob Herder supplied the castings to Ellis.

Below is a video and a couple pictures.

Enjoy!

Gil

Very nicely made!  All the proper sounds, too.  It doesn't need to be slowed down much.

Thanks, Daniel. That dinosaur rumble adds an interesting dimension.

A simple adjustment lets this engine run slower nicely!
