    Brian,
    I'd love to see some pictures of your model steam engines, but especially the model gasoline engines. Saw a bunch out in California at the Pleasanton GoodGuys a couple of years back, and they were super cool! Do you have project progress photos, by chance?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    rspears---I probably posted as many "in progress" shots and write ups on building and machining my model engines as I did when I was building the Wild Canary on this forum. The are all over on HMEM (Home Model Engine Machinist) forum. I will try and find them and post the links here for you to have a look at.----Brian

    I spent over an hour looking through that site (the 'Hit and Miss' engine,) and still didn't get to the end!
    Will have to go back!
    Very interesting and very clever.
    Thanks for the link.

    And yes; it's good to see you're back.
