Tommy, Dave, Arnie,
I believe the engine I am remembering at the Boone show years ago was a 
Columbus and not a Callahan now that I think about it a little. It was 
displayed by Jeff Hutchins (sp?).
You guys have given Doug some great leads for his next project and I 
will encourage him to attend Coolspings with the Miller model.
Thanks,
Curt
