Title: Wellington, Ohio Engine Show Treasure
Post by: crazydoug on September 19, 2021, 08:24:49 pm
We attended the Wellington, Ohio engine show this past weekend.  There were quite a few model steam and hit and miss engines, as well as full-sized ones, tractors of all kinds, and one of the largest flea markets I've ever seen at an engine show. 

I found this model hit and miss engine in the flea market section, and I'm not sure what model it is. Someone wrote "Fuller & Johnson" on one side, but who knows?!  I also saw a vintage Maytag MOdel 72 twin cylinder engine, with one of the cylinders being used as an air compressor to run steam engines.  I like this idea so much that I bought a model 72 for myself, and am going to do a conversion.  It would be much easier to transport that the current set-up I have to supply air for engine shows.
