The Fall show is Saturday and Sunday October 16 & 17 in Bangor, Pa

They have a little bit of everything including model engines. I’ll be there Saturday and possibly Sunday. I usually set up my engines around noon in the pavilion by the entrance. There is also a group of modelers that set up near the train.

Here is a link to the website that includes a flyer for the show.

Despite a questionable weather forecast, I plan to attend tomorrow. I will likely also attend Sunday.

First off, thank you for taking the time to post pictures. And posting pictures like the ribbon braiding machine, come on! I would have spent a half hour looking at it. I love stuff like that because that would probably be the first and last time I would ever see something like that in operation. Again thank you!

Thanks for all those. I do like the Improved Rider engines that you started off with, quite fancy doing one of those rather than the usual concentric cylinder ones.

Great show! My favorite is the mine winding engine. Thanks for the pictures!

Seems like it was a great show! Loved the braiding machine - would have loved to see that thing in operation. Looks fascinating!

Thanks for posting the pics,
Kim

I did not see many people / viewers in your fine pictures .... but absolutely no lack off interesting machines

So thank you very much for posting them

Thank you for taking and posting these great photos. It looks a fine show, wonderfully rural and relaxed. I visited the Jarrell Plantation in Georgia in 2003. They have a couple of old engines in wooden sheds, lots of old interesting machinery etc, including a sawn off car chassis used as a power plant like the one pictured . This post took me back there.....great memories

Thank you again. Terry

Thanks everyone for looking in.

It’s a neat little show. I always enjoy it.

The braiding machine is very cool to watch. It’s amazing to watch it shuffle the bobbins around. If I had the time, I would love to model it.

The Buffalo Springfield roller is another one I love. It has a Hercules four cylinder gas engine. It would take me a lifetime to model it.

It looks desolate because I took most of the pictures when the gates opened. Also, the weather delayed people from coming early.

I just got back home from day two at the show. I have a few more pictures to put up later.

I really enjoyed the pictures. I see you showed some of your toys. Nice job.

Clearly a great show. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Interesting to compare the printing press with today’s printer.
