Paul,     Chicken shooter.....not as cool as i thought it would be              Craig

Yeah, the video is a little disappointing. Seems to me you could do better just throwing the damn things... Maybe part of the problem is the video itself, it's not very good. I was hoping for some clearer shots of how the thing works. Still fun though...

Great photos Craig... that Henderson is a thing of beauty. Thanks for posting. There are some photos on my blog of a 1/6 scale model of a 1920 Henderson K by Pere Tarragó. I posted a couple of them here some time back, but they're always worth another look... outstanding work.

I should have credited my source for the Davis Mine "Loco", the 7/8ths List. Sorry if I offended anyone. Here's another pic... Carlo

I like that mine loco.....converted from a Harley

Interesting mine loco Carlo, tho I'm not convinced it was made from a Harley. It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but it appears to have two cylinders side by side. Apart from one failed horizontal-cylinder experiment akin to BMWs, Harley's two cylinder engines have been V-Twin designs. Their single cylinder power plants were much smaller and more rudimentary. Would like to see larger photos if you have them...

Interesting copy of an oft-vewed pic

Hmm ... looks like the only way to model "too many" signs realistically is to have WAY too many!

If you go to the link Carlo posted you'll see all about it including: "The Davis Motor Mine Cart was discovered in 1990 in an abandon gold mine located in Northern California. Used for pulling wagons of ore out of an underground mine on narrow guage track, it utilized much of the 21 cubic inch, 80 mile-per-gallon Harley-Davidson motorcycle.  This rare, one-of-a-kind machine also features all-wheel drive and electric start, a trait not acquired by Harley-Davidson motorcycles for another 40 years."
