Collecting Engines, Just Engines and more Engines.

[AzTom]

For some reason I like to collect engines.  There have been many engines made as stand alone display pieces, so I'm sure I'm not alone.  if you want to see more photos of these engines, just click on the photo.

      Back in the Early 60's I had one of the Renwal Visiable V-8's. Kind of guessing that was the Granddad of the above kits.

[AzTom]

I have one of those here somewhere but couldn't find my photos.

I put one of the Christmas ornament Cammers in a Falcon.

I use to have one of those...very cool kit too.

Mike, That was a great build http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/59583-1964-falcon-futura/  you need to fix the photos on this one so it can be enjoyed. 

[Danno]

Wow, Tom!   You must be very motor-vated!   

 

Nice collection.

[AzTom]

That's a good one Danno.  I'm just getting started, can't find all of my photos.  I hope I didn't lose them in my computer crash

Cool idea, wish I'd thought of that.....

[Greg Myers]

Tom,

What scale are they? 

If you are asking about the one in the Falcon, it is 1/18, like the third photo from the top. The photo above that one is the same engine on a stand. 

Thanks for sharing the link and the Model A engine. I had not seen that version before and having had a few 1:1 A's & T's I would sure like to find one.

 

Thanks Mike, Looking at that again makes me want to dig my stash out and get started.

[AzTom]

This is actually a display of the John Deere Triple Link Suspension system but has a nice engine so it counts to me. It was made for JD dealers to demonstrate the front axle and is made of diecast on a wood base in 1/16 scale. 

[Greg Myers]

 Cool in any modelers book.

Tom, I can understand why you like to collect motors.  Super idea.  I have a couple 1:25 built up too just waiting for a frame to put them in.  I like the larger scale motors too.  Good stuff!

[Twokidsnosleep]

I totally agreed and have the same fixation for engines of many kinds

Purchased some 1/8 kits to post along side their vehicle builds

Have a love for famous WWII airplane engines as well...Pratt and Whitney, Merlins and the like

[AzTom]

Thanks guys.  Greg you have me on the hunt for one of those Ford 4 bangers.  

Scott, I also have been fascinated by the early plane engines. I have a small kit of one here some place.

I added 2 flathead 1/6 engines and 3 1/4 Hemi engines.

[Twokidsnosleep]

I forgot to compliment you on the engines your posted already, all vey well detailed

[10thumbs]

Yes, those engines are all good looking.  Heck, I'm even thinking of building several others I have laying around in the shadows. 

[Yenkocamaro]

Hey Tom, these engines are cool, and have seen these before, but display space is pretty tight for me. Thanks for sharing. I noticed that some of the Liberty engines don't have fan belts, is that the way they came?

 

 

Cheers,

Lance

[AzTom]

Thanks. glad you like the engines.

Lance, the 1/18 engines do not have fan belts. I wrapped a thick black thread around them with dab of superglue on the bottom pulley to hold it.   Space is an issue for me until  I get my man cave set up. I plan on getting all the engines in one display. 

This weekend I'll do a photo shoot of some more engines.
