If you like old engines, you've come to the right place. This site is run by Rob Skinner and Kelley Garcia, a couple of gearheads in La Habra, California (close to Disneyland, for those of you from far away). We collect old machinery, primarily stationary engines, but we've been known to occassionally give quarter to tractors, farm machinery, and other bits of old iron. In this web page, we hope to share with you some of the iron in our collection, pictures from shows we've attended, and an assortment of other tidbits that might be of interest to other enthusiasts and restorers. |
Be sure to check out the newest addition to the stable, a Campbell Oil Engine. I've been playing with the new video camera, and took some high-def footage. Check it out if you have a high speed connection. For the past two years I haven't been putting up many pictures from engine shows. I've been editing the club newsletter, and wanted to save my best pictures for publication there. Now, I think I can put pictures in both places, without detracting from the newsletter. Stay tuned for more show pictures as the year progresses... |
