A simple adjustment lets this engine run slower nicely!

What a lovely little beasty .... and BTW I really liked the dinosaur!

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

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

Thanks!

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!
