Hi, BC1. That is sad to hear about the ford museum. I have been there several times and love the place. I have been to the science and industry museum in chicago many times. They have got rid of a lot of the old displays and put in new ones. I think they ruined the place besides charging an arm...

Thats a nice looking model, :bow: Put Put. I have seen these working at some engine shows I've been to. I don't recall the lift device tho. I also like seeing model engines doing work of some sort too. it gives more realism I think. Do a search on a model hay bailer, model threshing machine...
