Don was a wonderful man and an exceptional machinist.
I am grateful that Gil introduced me to him and I got to visit
with him several times.
The level of detail of this locomotive will take your breath
away.
Thank you for sharing the video Gil.

This may be my final show entry for the 2024 Global Power-Up.
Here is the 1/2 scale model of a ca 1892 Springfield 1 HP Gas
Engine.
This is a Wayne Grenning creation.
Enjoy,
Gil

I knew this was going to be a stunning table to view and as
always Gil, you didn't disappoint.
A table full of candy, eye candy that is.

I don't think I've ever seen the Springfield Gil. What a
beautiful engine! Of all the shows I have attended I don't
recall ever seeing one.

Thank you, George!
The main reason they are not often showed in person is their
weight, shape and size.
Shape and size make it very difficult for 1 person to lift and
move it safely.
Weighing in at near 130 lbs it is no longer an engine I can move
myself safely and easily.
Wayne built 48 of these in the mid to late 1990s.
He also built 2 opposed cylinder twins (one for himself and one
for his Dad)

Interesting. Thanks for the color Gil. You are a wealth of
knowledge.
What a beast at 130 lbs!
