For the first time, the Glenmoor Gathering hosted a display of hand-built scale models. The display included included both vintage model and recently-built models with workmanship that cannot be adequately described—their detail are excruciating. Engines actually operate! Engine compartments on automobiles and airplanes are detailed to the max!
In addition to the phenomenal display of scale models, more than 100 youngsters- and their dads-built snap-together plastic models during the show, which were provided by Revell.
The display of scale models is scheduled to return to Glenmoor for the 2010 and will be even larger! Don’t miss the opportunity to see these rare, one-of-a-kind models.

4 cylinder OHV Internal Combustion Engine
This working scale gasoline engine designed and built by George Britnell is made entirely from bar stock, aluminum, brass and iron. The main components, block, oil pan and intake manifold are 6061 aluminum. The head and flywheel are iron. The valves and exhaust pipes are stainless steel. The water pump body, connecting rods and water connections are bronze. The bore is .750 and the stroke is .875 with a splash oil system and full spark ignition (non glo-plug). The carburetor is based on the air bleed type used for RC planes. The distributor is hooked by linkage to the carburetor so that when the carb is opened the timing is advanced. The engine idles, if you want to call it that, at 1500 rpm.
