This is my engine collection. This shelf is mostly OS. The back row in the 2nd pic is the Johnsons. Also a couple of Fuji's on the right center row.

More photos This shelf has my Super Tigres and my Sparkies. St's are 40, 45, 46, 51, 56 and 60. With the exception of one 29 they have all been to Frank Bowmans for "physical therapy" and still need to be broke in again. Sparkies are a couple Anderson Spitfires 60 and 65 and a Orwick 64. Also a few Atwood Triumphs, O&R 29 and a Orwick 29 still needing restoration. A few K&B 35's in the back. 2 Forster 29's. Also a couple HP 40's A Gold Cup and a Silver Star. 2 Merco 35's surrounded by Tigres.

Still more Here I have my McCoys, Veco's, Enya's and a few others. The McCoy 29 RR's were rebuilt by my good friend Dick McCoy one night sitting at his kitchen table. Good memories for sure.

Thats all folks  These are all NIB waiting their turn. There used to be alot more but sanity finally prevailed and I have sold a BUNCH off. There are still a few engines that are MIA and I am hoping someday they make it back home.

Bill...what's the engine just above/left of the OK Cub box? It looks a bit like a Cox, but not one I've ever seen. The plastic backplate and downdraft venturi just doesn't look right. The case and muffler don't look like Cox, either, but I just can't place it. How about more info on this one, and a few pics of it? Cipolla, maybe?

I'm NOT  a collector.  I do have a matched pair of NIB Doonside Mills .75's (a Mk.1 and Mk.2, that is), that are available, if a good offer comes along.  y1 Steve

Steve,

Phil Brown took care of engine ID and pictures for your request.  I can't tell you anything about the history or performance of this .074.  I have most of my smaller engines because I've used them.  Harry Higley had this one up at Toledo a couple of years ago and I just thought the muffler and throttle were really cool and would look good with my other little guys.

The Queen Bee was  probably Cox engines greatest embarassment. The power of an 049 and needed a 6/4 to do it. Naturally it was heavy and for some strange reason they went with a head that took a regular plug. That in itself was the kiss of death. I believe that Larry Renger said that they couldn't find anyone to own up to being the designer/project engineer for this turkey. If you want to run it at least put a Cox TD09 plug on it. It will help a little and tip the nitro can generously. It might get at within 5K of a good Norvel 061with that much help. Oh, and dump the muffler
