Good to see you here, Brian! Welcome!

Would love to see a photo of your engine collection if you have one, so we can all ooh and ahh at the various things you've built!

SMFR--You asked for it--Top shelf is the twin cylinder Donkey steam winch, with a Cone clutch for engaging/disengaging pulley drives setting to the left of it. Second shelf down is The "Nodding Donkey" oilfied pump powered by one of Elmers factory engines
Third shelf down in the twin cylinder factory engine I designed with a flyball governor on it.-

[Brian Rupnow]

And on this top shelf, starting at the right is a the first set of gears that I cut, then an Atkinson engine, then a single cylinder steam engine with an antique rolling gear drive mounted on it, then a Popcorn engine with a clockwork type mechanism mounted on it. On the second shelf down beginning on the right is a Webster i.c. engine, an "Odds and Ends" hit and miss i.c. engine, and a Kerzel hit and miss i.c. engine.

[Brian Rupnow]

On this shelf we have from right to left. the "Slinky machine", a very small Elmers wobbler (First ever engine I built), a single cylinder "overcrank engine: based on Stew Harts original 2 cylinder design, and a double acting wobbler with a bunch of gear reduction pulleys hanging off it

[Brian Rupnow]

On this shelf, from right to left is the moving staircase ball elevator, the radial engine powered bubble machine, and the double scale Elmers beam engine.

In the foreground is the Muley sawmill with ratchet and pawl carriage drive, and in the background is the pile driver.

[Brian Rupnow]

and last but not least, my current favourite, the "Rupnow Engine", a hit and miss engine with vertical stempost and flyball governor.
