Amazing running scale engine

For those of you who can read Spanish, you'll probably get a bit more out of it, but it's a really cool video my brother sent me.

I think this is around here somewhere in English if you want to read it.

A work of art, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.

That is a truly fine piece of machinery. For those who live in southern California or if you happen to get down this way, you really must stop by the Joe Martin Craftsmanship museum in Vista. If you think this blows your mind, wait until you step into a huge room full of these master pieces. Here is the link. http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/ By the way, Joe Martin is the founder of Sherline, so that might explain the interest in all things mechanical and small.

Doesn't someone make some minature V8 's that really work and that can be put in an R/C car ? I think the name was Connely or something like that.

Joe Martin's place is in Carlsbad now. A bigger facility built just about where the tower used to be for the Carlsbad Drag Strip. An impressive collection of work indeed.

At that point on the map it is difficult to tell where it is. 100 yards in any direction puts you in Vista, Carlsbad or San Marcos. I stopped by the new location a day after it opened and agree, it is a much better location than when it was in the Sherline building. Great displays getting better every time I stop by. Down side is I don't have the opportunity for impulse buys at Sherline. Money stays in my pocket a little longer.
