Glad you guys enjoyed the photo of the real Dancer's End engine, it is a very unique design and quite uncommon and i'm pleased it got saved, the original building that housed it is rather nice too.
It is amazing to think that the scale model in Gil's photos was made from nothing but photographic references. :o
-
Great photos and videos Gil, really enjoyed browsing through all of these.
I thought i recognised that twin beam engine, here is the real life one when i visited Kew a few years back:
(Attachment Link)
A beautiful machine like this makes today's efforts at industrial design seem rather pedestrian, hollow and lame!
-
Thanks for that picture of the full-size Philip, wish they built engines that elegant today...
-
Love seeing all the pieces that have been crafted by very talented folks in these videos, always a delight to watch these vids and thanks for putting them up for all to enjoy Gil.

Thank you, Philip, for the nice picture of the real Dancer's End Double Beam.

Thanks for all the quality pictures to go with the video Gil! I have sent my grandpa a link so he can look through them and share with his friends. He's been talking about the show everyday!
-
Love the six pounder, caissons and portable forge wagon, along with all the accoutrements. The fellow sitting there was probably the wheelwright for all those as well.
The talent at the N.A.M.E.S. is clearly beyond my poor limited comprehension!
-
Man... I really got to attend next year.
High quality photos of high quality stuff. Thanks Gil.
-
Such an incredible display of skillsets and craftmanship there (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji7.png)
I enjoyed those last pics as well, and will definitely return at another time, as all this simply is to much to take in at once.
Can only imagine how your head must "spin" after being there.
Thanks again Gil !
-
I believe that is all of my pictures of the engines displayed at the show.
If any of you would like to add more please do so.

Here are a couple pictures a a very nicely finished Coles Power Models Small Horizontal Hit & Miss Gasoline Engine.
Seeing this engine brought be a couple steps closer to doing my own Coles engine over with a nice paint scheme.

OMG .... maybe it is a good thing that no shows like that are anywhere near me, as I'd definitely need a set of wheels on my chin so I could more easily roll my continuously Dropped Jaw around the exhibits!
-
Alright.... Here are some more pictures....
These are engines built by Bill Huxhold.
(except for the green OB Bolton Triple which is the model that the smaller triple expansion engines were scaled down from)

Here is a steam powered vehicle made from an old iron.
The cylinder is from a Weeden.
The boiler was a brass doorknob.
The body is the main part of an old household iron.

Hi Dave, Probably not worth it on Sunday with the forecast weather. Many of us displaying will not go back Sunday and a lot of the vendors won't show up.
If it was the big fall show at the end of September, I would say dress right and go in the rain but not this one.
Thanks Gil. See you in September.

Here are some more videos.
