[SEL] First engine of the year!

[Wayne Thackery]

George, if you want to look at the Ingeco, I did take it home but come on
by. I figured you would show the Ceres this year as Bert said he would have
the oiler for you when you go to Europe on your EHOWT! I would love to go
again but after buying the slide valve this past year I need to fatten up
the piggy first. 

I will have to say that anyone thinking of going to Europe to look at
engines and take in the show should take advantage of this trip that George
and Harry are thinking of putting together! You will absolutely see the best
of the best......and will be treated with the finest hospitality you will
every get anywhere! I ate more the first day their, than I had eaten in the
previous week. People are vary friendly and helpful and go out of there way
to show off there collections. Don't let George scare you when he says Hell
on Wheels, as it isn't that bad. You're up early and in bed late.....I do
the same thing here at home! If you don't enjoy yourself and have a good
time, then it's your own fault. I would recommend exchanging your money
before you go, as we had one of us that had trouble with his credit card.
Europe is not the place to discover that your card won't work in the ATM
machines! I would also recommend that George and Harry include the Museum in
Cologne, Germany as one of their stops. We were about 11 mile from there
after visiting the Otto Museum but did not have time to visit with our tight
schedule. I think we could have fitted it in, if Les wouldn't have wanted to
go visit the Red Light District in Amsterdam!!

Next year!????

What about this year!!

Actually, I have no idea on what I'll show this year at Brooks.

I've got the 1910 Ceres engine that I had at Nuenen in 2007 which hasn't
been shown here.
I've got the 18hp Stover which I just got.
In March I go get the 12hp Ingeco.  (Don't know if yours is still at
Brooks or if you took it home)

Plus I've got a few others I haven't shown at Brooks.

I'm just a small collector compared to you big time collectors, so can
only show a couple engines at a time or I'll run out of fresh things to
show ;-)

Interested in another EHOWT? ;-)

George, congratulations on the new addition to the family! Will we see

Brooks next year?
