Eric,

Theresa sent you an email yesterday, confirming that the # you requested is available. Perhaps you can add an engine to cart, together with anything else you would like (combined shipping) and go through checkout.?

Thanks - Bob

Bob,

All engines that were reserved and paid for have been shipped, unless there were emails from us (in regards to #) that required an answer from the buyer. Those would be shipped as soon as we hear back.

Tee Bee Wed Sep 18, 2019 1:25 pm

Mine was shipped 9-17.

A while back? Texas must be closer to Canada than West Virginia. Smile

Still waiting for mine. Sad

But I did order parts with it and went back the next day and ordered another and requested combined shipping. They will get here when they get here.

Eager to see yours as they will all be different.

I'm waiting anxiously for mine but don't expect to see it for a while. Ya see, our local mail distribution center is located in Houston. The building suffered a roof collapse during the heavy rains of Tropical Storm Imelda this week. Our mail service has ceased since then. USPS is saying 1 to 4 weeks before our deliveries will be caught up. I'm most grateful of not getting flooded but bummed about my little engine getting caught up with the millions of delayed packages. At least I won't be receiving any bills for a while. Smile

Evolution Fred, evolution.

There are "Collectors", there are "Builders", there are "Flyers". Some do all three, me for instance and in that order. Thinking that you are Builder/Flyer/Collector. Then there's the strictly engine guys. Whatever floats boats and makes people happy.

I started out as a flyer, building was just a means to an end.

Wow, the USPS got their act together, found my mail, and delivered my new engine today! #22 to match my Copperhead. The instruction sheet is specific to this engine model, nice touch! The splash anodizing is interesting since each of these tanks should look unique.

Ok, it is now a fact, Texas is closer to Canada than West Virginia.

Had my order in the cart during the first few moments too, but did add a second the next day.

Nice looking engine Tee Bee.

Hey Bob, loved the Runaway video! Haven't seen that movie in years. Need to revisit!

rsv1cox Tue Sep 24, 2019 5:24 pm

Just made a trip to the mailbox. All is forgiven:

What's the scoop with the backplate on the right engine?

getback Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:21 am

Knowing Bob he probably painted it lol!

rsv1cox Wed Sep 25, 2019 9:02 am

Special order...

Nah, I took it apart to see what sort of reed and gasket arraignment it had and how the graffiti played out. Also wanted to see how a cast back plate would look on it. Thought I would like it. Didn't!

Things back to normal now.

Got one for display, one to play. Might build a model for it and have someone with talent paint it graffiti like. Think Salvador Dali.

Yeah, Imagine me looking at the picture, trying to see a scoop on the engine! Air scoop?, a castor catching scoop, IDK, I don’t see any scoop? What’s he talking about?

lol!

I like the idea Bob. However, if you plan on doing one of teh top two, you may need to pick up a couple more Graffitti Bees.... And if teh lower one, you will need to run both you got. Very Happy

Nice engines.
