« on: December 11, 2019, 08:01:24 am »
this video features My replica Empire B-41 display stand & the Empire B-30 engine for which the stand was originally designed. the engine has had a "Nuclear" restoration with the addition of a custom working pressure gauge , the engine was a gift from Mike (Maxwell)

Wish now I had not sold off my Empires...I would have loved to display a B-30 on such a base...really a beautiful setup overall.
