I Need More Display Space
« on: June 13, 2023, 09:15:03 am »
Here are photos of all my Empire's (and my Wilco that I have had for a zillion years).  I need a to figure out how to get them all displayed in one place, with what or how I haven't any idea! 

Other than a few outliers (missing B-40 & B-39), I have one of each Empire Model numbers!  I'd really like to find a Empire B-43 that has the straps on the tank - for the record I really like the B-43s.  Though one of my B-43's (water pumper) is a EMPCO - I am not letting that EMPCO slide me into that engine line (I swear it).

I wanted to take the time to also thank the membership for all your help, posts, and YouTubes!  This forum is the best, though perhaps if it wasn't here I'd have a lot of more in my savings account LOL.  Seems I have travel a long way since I first asked about my busted Empire B-35 Turbine that my brother dumped on me.

The need grows along with the hobby as the collection grows!

I think we are all up against that wall here!!!

Thanks @txlabman / Charlie - that B-62 Long boiler you showed me via text is one of the two I am looking for (the a B-43 with the tank straps is the other).  I even have a throttle base for that B-62 of yours - though I had to replace the bent brass screw and the red Bakelite topper is discolored (got it from a rather burned up engine that I stripped for parts).
