Here is the 1/2 scale model of a ca 1892 Springfield 1 HP Gas Engine. This is a Wayne Grenning creation.

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) Gil #Post#: 61318-------------------------------------------------- Re: RedRyder's Table at the 2024 Global Power Up By: txlabman Date: March 4, 2024, 9:49 am --------------------------------------------------------- Interesting. Thanks for the color Gil. You are a wealth of knowledge. What a beast at 130 lbs! ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
