I spent last week at John Brodaks, starting to organize the museum engine display.

Here are some photos.

The last photo is the orphanage.
These are engines that I cannot identify - no markings whatsoever.

If any of you have engines that you would like to loan or donate, please contact me for details.

THANKS, Bob Z.

Hello Thanks for the pics
Those Orphans are interesting some close ups and we can all help identifying them!
Do I spot a DC Wildcat/350 second row  :-\

Hi, Gerald - it just might be a DC.
We already have quite a few that are placed with the British engines (see reply #1, first photo) but I will double check.

So far we have on display, engines from the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Chech Republic, Russia, China, Japan, Norway, Isle of Man, Ukraine, Moldavia, Canada, Austria, Germany, Taiwan, Australia, Brazil, Poland, France, Spain and Argentina.
I expect more as the setup continues.

There are, at present, over TWO HUNDRED different brands on display. There will be many more.
Presently over 800 engines are on display. I will be bringing around five hundred more later on in the summer.

AND, if all goes as planned, between five hundred and a thousand kits also!

Bob Z.

   Started studying the pictures and
half an hour went by in three seconds!

  Now my brain hurts.

This is wonderful!  Thanks Bob.
