Title: hello from toronto canada
Post by: chuck foster on August 22, 2009, 08:57:13 PM

hi guys
          i found this site while surfing the internut.
 i have been actively building models of hit and miss gas engines for the last 20 years.
i also restore full size hit and miss engines.

my paying job involves rebuilding rivet setting machines and some production tooling for said machines.

if you would like to see some of my stuff just follow this link     http://s217.photobucket.com/albums/cc274/aermotor8/

some of you guys have seen most of my stuff cause i have posted most of it on another site.

Hey Chuck!

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Gotta say, love going to Canada. Haven't been to Toronto, but my wife loves it there. Kinda cheesy, but one of my favorite TV shows is from Canada... Corner Gas.


Can't wait to see what you do.

Just looked through you photos you've done some great work there  :thumbup:  the traction engine looks a 4" to the ft is it ?, did you weld the steel boiler up yourself ?. very impresive, no need to warn you about geting  :proj: you've all ready got it  :D

Looking forward to following more of your projects.

Have fun

Welcome Chuck (even though we have already chewed the fat a bit on Skype),

I'm sure you will settle in fine here, and that engine you have running is exotic enough to easily qualify you for being mad enough to join the fun and games.

Hi Chuck.

Welcome to the collective.  :borg:

Used to live in Toronto about 50yrs. ago down near, I think it was called Hyde Park.

Still come up to visit and stop at the German butcher stores.

brass machine: corner gas is a great show  :thumbup: :thumbup:

sbwhart: the traction engine is a 1/4 scale of a 25 hp waterloo, it belongs to my dad. he had the boiler welded by a profesional welder. dad can weld ok but he wouldn't chance his welds on a pressure vessel. i'm building one of these engines myself but i have along way to go to get to were dads is.

thanks for the warm welcome and kind words..............i have been assimulated............resistance was futile  :borg:    :nrocks:    :lol: :lol:

I'm just up the road from you so we are almost neighbours.

Welcome to the board and glad to see that you have found your way around. There are a great bunch of guys on here and they seem able to answer most any question you can come up with. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.

Cheers :beer:
