Title: Hit & Miss Engines…
Post by: RoughboyModelworks on October 02, 2010, 03:59:01 PM
Took these shots at our village's Fall Fest this morning. Local antique engine club had brought out some of their hit & miss engines. Cool stuff... love watching and listening to these things run.

Very good Jacq  :D :D — only after a few beers or some of Marc's 20-year-old Scotch... ;D ;D

I saw one at a old-timey gathering that ran a clothes washer. POOF-putt-putt-POOF-putt-putt with the belt going around, the washer turning, the exhaust smell, the danger of moving parts, the gasoline- a very convenient appliance for the Mrs.
