On Ebay via the ATIS list.

A Taylor vacuum engine with stepped piston, which runs the engine and acts as a vacuum pump (usually for milking). I remember reading about them in an old SEM.

A Standard separator engine, I've always thought these look lovely. Clearly the Stateside bidders do too.


One can dream.

Arthur --

I follow engines on US eBay as a habit. Good source of new knowledge & often good pix, especially for items you don't often see here, such as literature. Great source of contacts.

Prices typically much higher than at a venue such as Portland or Coolspring -- classic supply & demand equation on the day.

Only problem is triggering lust to go back to US to buy, & then how to get stuff back economically. I once brought back a Gold Star engine & gearbox as handbaggage, but that doesn't work for an 8hp Stickney! Even the Goldie stuff would have been difficult if I hadn't been on the crew that time....
