And the last for this year's show is another local engine show table, with hot air engines.
-
Another year at NAMES with my recently finished 7-1/2" gauge steam locomotive that uses oscillating cylinders. The real ones were built here in Milwaukee in the late 1890's for logging use.
-
NAMES table with two of my hot air engines. One is a full sized Essex replica running an Essex store display turntable.
-
Here is another display table of mine at a local thresheree. Hot air engines and an exact replica of the Titanic's Morse key that I made from the Marconi blueprints for the original. This was for the 100th anniversary of the sinking. My lovely wife is on the left.
-
Now that the show weekend is just about finished, I am going to post a few pics of my tables at engine shows. This display was at the regional hot air engine show in Wisconsin. I am on the left in the pic.

Thank you for showing us your "covid time work"
and an impressive Empire collection - never have
seen such an engine in Switzerland.
The Stuart Boiler is very versatile and with
this adds even more.
Regards, Arnold

You have a lot of meaty COVID Projects Brad.
At least something good has come out of this pandemic. 🤠
-
I am just starting this COVID project. The PM Research boiler No. 1. It will run my small engines that will power a music box.
-
Very nice Stuarts and a very nice Empire collection.

An ongoing COVID project is building this steam plant to run my larger engines. Stuart 504 Boiler, water tank with pump and injector and condenser tank.

Impressive collection of Empires 8) Looks like more hiding down below, and maybe an Elektro?
Good eye Nick. Yes, a very nice Empire Collection Brad.
For Cabin Fever 2019, my Table Theme was my Empire Collection.

The two engines on the right are Empire engines, but made by the Harvey Electric Company in Chicago. Harvey sold the toy line to Metal Ware of Two Rivers, WI. The two engines on the left are Elektro engines, made by D. C Hughes of Chicago. Hughes sold the engine line to Harvey.
I have not tested these engines yet. More COVID projects.
-
You are correct. Two Electros and two Hughes Empires. I will take a pic of them.
-
That's a lot of Empire engines. Awesome!

My summer COVID project was to get all my Empire steam engines running. Repairs as needed and boiler cleaning. The solenoid engine had to be completely rewired. These are the engines made by Metal Ware in Two Rivers, WI. Next I will show the Empire engines made earlier in Chicago.

Running the Hick.

My second COVID project was this Stuart Models oscillating cylinder steam engine. Stuart Turner had the kit available in the 1930's and then discontinued it. Stuart Models re-released the casting kit and I liked it.
-
My first COVID project was this oscillating cylinder steam engine. The original was made by Hick, Hargrave & Company in England, in 1851 and powered a forging machine. B. Hick had the patent. Oscillating engines were designed my Murdoch in England and these castings are sold by Myers Model Engine Works, under the name "Murdoch Engine", but in reality it is not a Murdoch design, but B. Hick's version of the oscillating engine.

It is Brad, it is...and i for one can´t wait to see what you´ve decided to bring to your table here, am certain it´ll be a true treat :)
