Here is a video of my 1/2 scale of a 1.5 hp hopper cooled Domestic side shaft gas engine that will be in my Cabin Fever display.

 A fine mechanism to look at and a sweet runner! Thanks for posting for those of us who can't make it to see your display.

A much nicer example than mine Gil! All the engines I am bringing to cabin fever are already packed in boxes, ready for the trip!

That is a beautiful, well-crafted model.

And I even like the colour.

I'm a little envious, Doug. My stuff is not yet packed. I set up my 5 beam engines (that are not the Major Beam) on my desk to run them on air and make a video. Filming is done. Next will be editing and publishing. That may be late tonight or early tomorrow as we are at a birthday dinner at the moment. I will hopefully get a lot done tomorrow.

Very nice engine Gil  8)

I would imagine with the initial cost of castings, the hours in building and the limited market, it's not easy for a business like this to survive too long...
