antique model engines

[Riley P]

Sorry Bill you are banned from the forum for having too much cool stuff. Sorry, especially at this time of the year.

Those motors are really incredible. Any idea what kind of RPM that OPS motor turns?

Great collection.

I agree! Ban, ban ban! That is way to neat!!!!

Oh c'mon, Murray and Riley. You can't ban Bill for his motors. I'm thinking almost everyone must have a collection of 500 or more neat and rare engines. Ok.... that was a joke......... Honestly Bill. I am notably impressed with your collection .... Much like Brian and Rob and their amazing talent with train models, as I get to know more and more members through their posts and chat, whether it be hobbies, or whatever, I see a cross section of people we just don't meet at Tim's every morning... Unless they are driving a Corvette of course...

Listen guy's, when I finally have all the collection displayed properly I will invite all those fairly local over for a engine tour and a beer or whatever you may drink. Also a Timmies 12 doors down from my house.
Those out of province I will try and do a decent video of the collection and post that here.

Acquired this one just a short time ago as well. An extremely rare Zimmerman which are simply unheard of in the collecting world. Got this one out of Austrailia.

This is my favorite place to spend time when I have a little extra. There's about six pages and you can click on individual photos for a closer look.

Love the miniature boat on the first page! Quite a neat site. Great pics. Would love to hear some of those run. But, youtube can do that.

Just like the real thing, no carb for throttle just timing.

Bill thanks for sharing that site. Some incredible workmanship and design.

This is an Canadian made engine from 1946. New old stock which had hardly even been handled. I was the first to remove the box lid since the day it was made. The lid was quite difficult to slide off without making any marks on the box.
