Suppose they can only show what people are willing to bring along, they are not all as prolific as me.

Could you not have got someone like Eric to bring a few of your models to the show and drop them back at some time?

For the last few years I was told they were restricting the number of tables for stationary engines and I was told the same again this year :wallbang: I would have brought along more engines last year if they had allowed more space.

I made the mistake of letting someone else take my models to a show on one occasion - never again  :ShakeHead: and as for getting Eric to return the R&B  :facepalm:

Some nice engines there :-)

Jason do you have any idea what that largish horizontal engine is that is partly seen to the left of the Whittle V8 ?  It looks like a decent size and quite attractive from the bit I can see.

Yes it was a Centaur.

Graham unless you include my CHUCK then unfortunately there were none of your offerings there, as Jo has hinted the amount of stationary and IC engines at the show is quite limited  :(

Some more pics to follow shortly but in the meantime can you guess what this is Jo, its not got your name on it ;D

Looking along the table the quantity and quality goes up as you get to the far end, not that the marine engines were low quality.





Does anyone know where this "Henry" design was published, looks to be all fabricated.



My motly collection - Muncasters simple entablature engine, 1/3rd scale Ruston Hornsby BPR, Jowit Jnr, Thompston's workshop engine and CHUKY.



Nice Hired Man



Small Swiss watchmakers lathe rescued from the local tip







Some of Tony Boxhall's collection, mostly reduced size Anthony Mount designs









A couple for JL

Jason,
That flat 4 gear train is quite impressive. What is that flat twin aero engine?
