Miniature Engineering Museum photos (lots of IC engines!)
« on: September 06, 2013, 04:01:56 AM »
I follow Miniature Engineering Museum on Flickr. Not sure who runs it, but they seem to collect model engines, mostly IC. They have an exhibition on at Denver airport (http://www.flickr.com/photos/15794235@N06/sets/72157635281001604/), and some photos from the recent WEME Engine Show in Pleasonton, CA (http://www.flickr.com/photos/15794235@N06/sets/72157635368732799/).

Lots of drool-worthy engines to look at in their other photo sets too! http://www.flickr.com/photos/15794235@N06/sets/.

That looks like the collection of Paul Knapp. He has had them in other airports in the past. I though he had merged his collection with the Sherline Craftsmanship Museum. In the early years he was a regular at the NAMES shows .

I suspect everyone reading here already knows about the Craftsmanship Museum, http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/

Lots of eye candy in each of those photo sets. So many are either radials or multi-cylinder models too...countless hours of pains-taking work in each.  Thanks for sharing them Simon.
