Hi Jo,

I have more pictures to add but I've been held up by Flickr going down a few minutes ago.

Who or what do you mean by 'my supplier' ?

Eric Offen... who also is the judge for the model engines at the International Model Engineering show  8)

He normally has a habit of just taking a couple of small IC engines which only the knowledgeable collector would realise how significant they are.

Thanks for those Andy, will have a better look later as I have just got in from seeing a man about a dog but looks like one of my engines was there.

Hi Jason,
Yes the Monitor I presume, I had a pleasant chat with the owner. He had set up his display minutes before we entered the show, I think he said he had travelled from Ireland that very morning  :praise2:

There are some other photos if you scroll down this Facebook page that was posted on ME Forum, may be of interest as it shows some of the other aspects of teh hobby, I like the weathering on that CAT Dozer bucket and the part built crane/excavator towards the end.

Hi Jason, he had his Hubbard 2 Stroke marine engine, a Pioneer, a Monitor and a water pump on display. Unfortunatly I didn't see them running.

However, we did see some of the large model aero engines running outside.

Dave and Stuart I just scrolled down the page and as you get to the bottom it will start adding more stuff until you get to the photos. The Leisure ctr is where the show is held and it is them that have put up the photos. Keep scrolling until you get the ones posted by user "Rich McD"

EDIT This link should take you straight to his Bristol Show Album, though quality is not a sgood as via the first link when you view them full size.

Roger kindly took a picture of my Supplier's engines  ;)

 :thinking: There is a Cadet there, I don't think I have a set of castings for the Cadet, I've got the Cherub, but no Cadet :noidea:

Two more sets of castings are due to be dropped off to me from the show tomorrow  :pinkelephant:

P.S. These are all Roger's photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/114089163@N04/sets/72157685269459584

Good morning Jo,
Would the 'Cadet' you mention be related to the Electronic Developments Cadet engine from decades ago?

Good to see more pictures on Flickr which works very well in my experience.

Thanks so much for the pictures. Truly some outstanding engineering work on display. Are most of the engines static or do they operate some of them?

Hi Jo.

The name is familiar in this neck of the woods.

Any connection to JB Joyce and company of Whitchurch? They built large public place clocks.

The engine has a sort of look about it.

Kind regards, Graham.

All I have been allowed to know/say is that they were used at the 1851 Great Exhibition to drive the ice cream making machines  :-X
