[SEL] Sydney Rally

[Jeff Allen]

Patrick and Bill,

Thanks for the info on sideshaft engines. Went back and looked at the 
pictures again. Pretty sophisticated and many variations. I do believe I 
have seen one now though I didn't know at the time. Sure enjoyed watching it 
run. http://frapa.us/Photos/Ault/Ault03.html
