Gentlemen,
While on my vacation to Florida earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Florida Flywheeler's old engine show. Unbeknown to me prior to attending I found that they have a running Snow tandem engine on the grounds which they fire up periodically. I got a good vantage point and filmed the startup and running of this monster, quite impressive!
Here's the link to the video

That is a huge engine. Thanks for the entertainment. I'm stopping at Coldspring, PA on my way to NAMES to see their Snow.
Best,
Stan

Hi George, thanks for the video and the pictures. Another opportunity for me to see and learn about this engine.
May be there are some more details which can be added to my Snow build. I am just designing the operaters stand.
Kind Regards
Achim

It's hard to believe that this engine is a "baby" Snow.  Some were almost 3x the HP.
