A couple of odd engines I thought people might be interested in seeing. Sorry the lighting in the first hall played havoc with my flash:

Then there was the Stuart Turner stand:

I found a 1/6th scale Galloway with the UK suppliers who to date have not got it to run and they are now trying with conventional sparkplug ignition :shrug:

The Stirling Society had some new engines:

(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc12/jothoms/Shows/Midlands%202013/IMG_4802.jpg)
Which they had arranged for cheap drawings/kits including the difficult to obtain parts.

These boat engines were rather smaller than they first look:

Bggr - how did I miss that BRM V8 - I love BRMs!

It was on the SMEE stand: It was the one Prof Chaddock was making when he sadly died :(.

Nearly forgot the traders were also showing a couple of engines that you could buy the casting kits for:

And Forest Classics were doing a couple of engines, and promising more in the future :cartwheel:

Eric: I had not appreciated how small your bottle engine was until I saw the one on their stand. I made a point of discussing the chilling problem with the traders and they are promising to pass on Jason's advice as to how to solve the potential chilling problem on the castings so that other UK customers don't have the problems you had ;)

Oh you could have slipped that Woodpecker into your handbag for me. You will have to talk tham into attending Guildford again.
Quite like the Senior from Engineers Emporium as well.

:ShakeHead: The Woodpecker is mine. And it is too small for you any way :naughty:
I do not buy from the other firm...
Jo

Thanks Jo, that is the little fellar in the same packaging I started with. I still say the first casting that came in the kit was head and shoulders above the replacement that I bought after the boot stomping episode :lolb:. Just because and for, when I have time I'm gonna try the same spot on the "kit casting". Thanks for letting them know. If they can't fix it, maybe they could give us " intermediate" builders a heads up when they print the notes.

I'm not sure if the finished engines or the raw castings are more lovely. While the engines are beautiful, the castings have the promise of future joys.

Great shots Jo, thanks for sharing.

Quiet a collection there Jo, and I do like your photos. Are you planning on making another VDH? I see a set of casting. Hemingway didn't attend this year because the are marketing by email and offering 10 to 15 % of through October. You could get some riser plates.

Great pictures Jo...lots to look at for sure!! So what followed you home :)

Bill: I posted the pictures of the haul here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,2557.msg44282.html#msg44282
The two large heavy bits are the flywheel and winding drum for the steam plough. The smaller three are a set of GHT Dividing head castings. Yes I know I have a GHT dividing head and it is very good. But mine was a home made welded up steel one without the tailstock and for £15 I now have the possibility of completing the set. (I would need to make a matching tailstock and the main head to ensure they are the same height ;) )

Here's what I saw at the show.

And a few more.

Thanks for the pictures I didn't get. Pity I didn't get to catch up with you but I didn't think going up to every good looking lass and asking "are you Jo" was going to work. Especially as I had the missus in tow. That said she was enthusing about the exhibits and encouraging me to spend money so I can't complain.

You just had to look for the good looking lass weighed down with castings - that narrowed the choice considerably!

Great pictures Jo and Ian, really enjoyed this thread

Thanks Jo for the pictures. A veritable Aladdin's cave I can see how easy it would be to overload the car :Lol:....would love a trip to the top end of the world to see some of the shows in that part of the hemisphere.
