The Silver Angel, plans by Bob Shores of Ruskin, Florida. Completed January, 2003. |
The Gearless Hit and Miss engine, completed early 2004, finally running well, May, 2004 |
The first 3 of these engines were shown at NAMES '98, Where Richard Egge and I had the first showing of some of our engines. The TTR debuted at PRIME in September, 1998 and Breezy and Lil' Bit were seen "in the metal" at NAMES, which started on my wife Hazle's birthday, April 24,1999. She is some gal, sending me off to brave the Detroit spring with a bunch of like minded nuts! Much to my sorrow, Hazle died after a prolonged bout with cancer in October, 2003.
Blazer, Aquatap and the
TTR made their debut at PRIME in
September, 1998.
2/12/02 The Bremen and the Essex Fan are complete. Neither is "new", the Bremen having been started a couple of years ago, and the Essex Fan castings bought at NAMES last year. Work on these two goes on sporadically along with other projects.
The Cole's Large Hit and Miss was completed in 2003, but is currently undergoing repairs (late 2004)
The Silver Angel and the Gearless are both fine running engines, although the gearless had some early problems. See the gearless page for the gory details!
To quote a recent comic strip: "The nice thing about a 'to do today' list is that whenever you get it done, it is done today."
Yes, here we are! Richard on the left, and Roy on the right.
Now, for a bit of vanity: A page on myself, just in case you are curious!
