My Running Engines

[cheepo45]

Here is a video of my completed engines running.
The larger one is an Upshur Farm Engine that I built about 16 years ago. I have worn out 3 sets of rings and 2 cylinders in that time! It still runs great. I run it on a mixture of lantern fuel and 2 stroke oil. The base contains a 9 volt R/C car battery and an automotive coil for the ignition. This was my first model engine. It has been at every Cabin Fever show except the first one.
The smaller air engine is an Elmer's Standby I built in 2011, and the larger air engine is an Elmer's #30 opposed that I just finished.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Cheepo and Dave,
I'll have lots of questions for you guys at Cabin Fever. I'm about to start an Upshur Farm Engine. Don't try to hide from me either :hDe: 'cause I'll just park my carcass near your engines and wait 'till you come back to fill up the fuel tanks

Cheepo45, Its all your fault!! After I saw yours running I had to have one. I have a cnc so I put it to work. Don't think I will have it done by Cabin Fever but will bring it along.
