Numbers don't mean much to me Greg. The pleasure of getting a seized engine out of a "lay down yard", stripping it down and restoring it is what I thrive on. I send them on their way when I get them running and go look for more. That's why none of the ones I'm restoring ATM look pretty, besides I like them in their "working clothes".

The reason I prefer open crank horizontals is that there is much more going on that is visible. Not just two flywheels spinning.

I agree whole heartedly. Open cranks are so much more appealing, hence the extra $$. If I could, I'd have one myself.

I'm a member of the Wedderburn Historic Engine and Machinery society, (WHEMS), here in Victoria. I put up a thread about a rally in Warracknabeal, Victoria, over the Easter weekend. It's usually a pretty good turnout, been there the last 4 years.

I belong to the NQMP club in North Queensland. I'll be going to Biloela later this year and hopefully to the National next year in Mudgee. See ya there.
