Hello All, i spoke with Earl today and he said it was ok to lower the price. So, the new price is $900.00 I don't want to ship it so it will be pick up only (Quakertown PA 18951). Cash only (no checks)

Thank You very much. My good friend Earl Walters built this engine and i am honored to own it.

It runs really well with the rimfire plug. Thanks for all the help Fellas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOMi7d4wRDA

The engine is sold. Thanks again fellas for the help.

Thanks everyone for the help and advise. I got the The Rimfire VR2L Spark Plug today and the engine runs the best it has ever run. I have seen a lot of full scale hit-n-miss engines fire twice on the hit stroke and my model engine always did the opposite and would miss twice occasionally if...

Sale pending.

Well, i just got off the phone with Earl and he said all things considered, he would be ok with selling it for $1200.00 cash (no checks) if someone is willing to pick it up at my home (Quakertown PA 18951). Thanks everyone for all of the help! I will post this up on the smokestack as well.

I found the one on ebay Germany and it is missing the stairs, railing and upper platform. Thanks for the information. The more the better.

I would feel like a total heal if i sold Earl's engine for half of what it is worth! When Earl and i were sitting at his kitchen table running the engine he said that it is worth a lot of money, something that i have never heard him say about something before although he didn't say how much and...

After more searching i found one that sold in much worse shape for 2300 euros in 2007. I didn't realize how old it was..i guess it was made in the 1920's?

Well, i still have not been able to find any of these engines built to compare prices to it. So, the price is $1,100.00 I don't want to ship it so it will be pick up only (Quakertown PA 18951). Cash only (no checks)

Todd, Lebanon PA is not too far from me (Quakertown PA) and i am looking forward to Cabin Fever being even closer to my home. I am one of the radio controlled construction machine guys that move the dirt around. Thanks for the links and info. The auctions at Cabin Fever is a good idea. If i...

This is the other engine that i am selling for my friend. Earl made this steam engine. It is very well made (he is a machinist) and has only been run on air. It says Breisch on the stone wall but, i am not sure if the whole steam engine was made from a Breisch kit or not? I can't find any...

Hello All, i am selling a couple engines for a friend (Earl) of mine because he just moved into a retirement home and no longer needs them. Earl says this is a Marklin hot air engine. Does anyone know how old is? About how much is it worth? I looked all over the net and can't find one the has...

Just thought this was interesting because of the discussion of spark plugs in hit and miss engines... found this hit and miss engine running on youtube and the spark plug is out the combustion chamber and is attached to an elbow! And runs well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY51fk_2FYU

Makes sense. Thanks for your input, i will order a normal commercial plug with a ceramic insulator and see how it runs.

Do you know where your timing is at? I am curious if you have it advanced more because of it? Good idea. I might consider that if it doesn't run well as is with a normal plug.

I have a friend that owns a granite company he might have some corian. Hmm.. would granite work? It sure would look nice.

Thanks, i just submitted my post and saw yours... i do have a sherline mill and lathe and also a HF 7x10 so, i could make another one.
