Collecting and restoring these is another hobby of mine. Here's a few of my engines I have restored or rebuilt.

Miniature masterpieces. Very cool collection Bill.

Our moderator, Steamer, is a very skilled modeller. I am sure he will enjoy these pictures.

Thanks.

Good to know, I also build model airplanes.

That's kind of cool Bill. I really like your old-timer model aircraft. I got out of the hobby a number of years ago, but built a lot od models over the years. I was also president of the Flying Tigers here in our area...... really is a small world.

I think we have met before Brian.

Really neat engines Bill! Do you run them very often?

 

[williame3590]

Some I do Riley and some I fly in the models. Other's are a bit too rare to do anything with but fondle.
I think I have somewhere around 500 engines tucked away.

ps. yes I'm a hoarder:seeya:

That is quite cool. I keep looking at the conley V8's thinking about how neat it would be to own one of those.

I've got a Conley 120 four stroke single Riley. They are pretty rare and this one is NIB.
Can't seem to load the photos, I think I have reached my limit.

Here are the photos of the Conley.

An extremely rare OPS B-20 marine engine with a subtle supercharger. Just got this one, it's number 81 of 96 made.

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.
