Model Engines

Mystic, CT  2020

Missing from this year's expo were the steam powered engines, which normally would be shown operating  with live steam.  These model engines were being run on compressed air.

"The motor with the bore AND stroke".  Not the biggest engine on display, but I happened to wander by when it was fired up.

Antique Marine Engines

Mystic CT,  2020 

This year's Antique Marine Engine Expo at Mystic Seaport was somewhat limited due to the coronavirus. The number of exhibitors were down as was their displays.  The seaport has been open all summer, but under strict guidelines limiting the number of people on the grounds.  Everyone must wear a mask.
