I hooked up all my accessories to two of my (current) favorite Empire Engines. I got my Windlass pulley fixed by using super glue and letting it dry overnight. I can't believe I ran out of bands, when I bought them some time back I made a point to buy a ton of them. But then again I never expected to need to hook up so many accessories either!

That looks like a ton o' fun, to have set up and gotten going!!!
It was totally a ton o' fun! It felt like I was 5 on Chirstmas day!
I went through string and larger wire before using that last small wire I used for a special project sometime back. Getting more bands is on the top of my list again, though putting all the accessories online is a chore that is for sure. I had to move my truck out of the garage and clean the floor to set them all up.
Super nice set up but I wouldn't have run it on the cement. A sheet of plywood would
protect the bottoms from scratches especially on that 3k swing set. Wife wouldn't let
you do it on the carpet?
Good point on the cement, though I didn't scoot them around much at all (very light touch during the setup). I am all out of plywood, which I wished I had. No wife, I just wanted ample space and not run the engines on my hardwood floors. I have a feeling these items have been through a lot worse before me!
