CLEANING MORE MODEL ENGINES - IN THE KITCHEN

Cleaning More Model Engines - In The Kitchen. I bought a collection of model engines from John Mills when I visited him at his '"Doubleboost" Workshop
It is a large collection once owned by his late Father.

I am really please that You have My Dads engine collection . That cleaning bath would have pleased him . I am not ashamed to sat that I have a tear in my eye . Regards John

[@keithappleton]

I have a lot of them in my small display cabinet on the wall, but now I need a bigger one :-)

[@metalman4141]

Many hours I enjoyed at the boating pool at Bournville until all IC was band, your video brought back some great memories thanks

[@keithappleton]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bigbear333uk1]

Blimy so many memories there takes me well back to my childhood/

[@keithappleton]

Me too ......

[@steamboatmodel]

Before I watched this I covered my keyboard and got a towel, they bring back many memories. I noticed a number of diesel engines, they were rare over here, but I did acquire a couple when I was younger, but never did get them to run, probably not using the right fuel.

[@amberyooper]

I've always wanted one of those 4 stroke engines, but they're expensive. Also, that horizontal opposed twin cylinder is rather cool!

[@andybrookes-wilde3820]

Hello Keith, I live in Macclesfield and progress aero works or P.A.W as it is know is still going and making model engines , a family business owned by the Eiflander family , interesting video cheers

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

My father and I used to fly RC airplanes back in the day. A lot of these engines bring back memories. Strangely I still love the smell of nitro fuel. But modern batteries and electric motors have changed the hobby completely Nitro gas Motors are almost a thing of the past.

[@10lauset]

Cheers.

[@bobvines00]

Even though some of the boxes are (after all of these years) in relatively poor shape, I'm glad you kept them with the engines. They are part of the engines' history and will be worth more & more as time passes, kind of like the paper shotgun shells I gave to a (collector) friend that couldn't believe that I still had some (in the original box) back in the '80s. I also completely understand growing older but not necessarily "growing up"! ;) I wish I still had my first control line airplane and had progressed to more advanced aircraft. Now I'm thinking of building a wood bi/triplane that is RC controlled since I'd now only have to walk a few 100 yards/meters out back to be able to fly it.

[@Sven_Hein]

I really like these old engines when nearly everyone was special in some way, especially with them getting replaced with silent and boring electric motors that are all more or less the same. There is a place for all types of power systems but the antique nitro's and diesels are the most intriguing to me. Sadly my grandfather's collection was sold before I was even born but I started collecting on my own.

[@charleshart6992]

My first engine was an Enya 15, it powered a very nice Japanese control line kit of a Oscar which I built in 1966 whilst growing up in Aden.

[@boyd21]

Very nice find.

[@keithappleton]

Yes it was }:-)))

[@dinger40]

Use to crash control line models regularly in the late 60's/early 70's. Spent weeks building them and one or two seconds trying to fly them. Had an AM10, green cylinder head and an AM15 with a blue one. the AM25 was black but never got round to fitting that in anything.

[@robot797]

damm you have a lot of engines I would love to own

[@henderson2394]

Used to work with ultrasonics in a lab, Keith is using them correctly, they're just very noisy, we used to keep them in fume hoods with the sash down to try and reduce the noise

[@ruftime]

Nice score! An Enya .19 was my first brand new nitro engine❤️

[@keithappleton]

Mine too! }:-)))

[@anthonypirozzi837]

You have some awesome engines there👍

[@keithappleton]

I agree }:-)))

[@OmeMachining]

Nice collection. I have a big collection of COX engines myself. And others as well. But i only do fly with Electric models now 😁

[@keithappleton]

Here is my modest Cox Engine collection ...... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmfGnJqhnM6Wo5Y

[@terrywitt5543]

Keith show how to run one of the Diesel engines I read about those when I was still modeling

[@jimbos3421]

It looks like a gold mine to me! Any chance that E.D. marine engine in the yellow box is the same model that propelled Miss E.D. across the English channel in the 1950’s? That’s the one I want!

[@keithappleton]

I am not sure, I think the one they used in 1951 was about 4.5cc

[@sfeddie1]

The little square electric motor with the small propeller attached looks like the motor out of an Aurora HO slotcar. I can understand why it didn’t have enough power to turn a prop and move a model airplane. These little motors revved high, but had no torque.

[@robinfryer479]

Did I see a Webra (green) diesel, in that pile? German.

[@keithappleton]

No, the green one is a DC I think.

[@renem6441]

Is this mean you are gonna take us flying?? I also have one FS40 love the sound I makes!

[@keithappleton]

Eventually, If I get a nice day in a field with short grass and some spare time }:-)))

[@kimber1958]

What a nice collection you should never have to buy another spare part

[@ilfarmboy]

have the box really increasing the value

[@72polara]

I would wash out the WD-40 with a preservative oil. I have seen many fine firearms ruined by WD-40 from drying up and rust forming. WD-40 removes water, but it does not provide long term protection from rust.

[@keithappleton]

I oiled every one of them after the WD40 - no rust so far and this vide was made over 3 Months ago.

[@richardwernst]

@@keithappleton Whew, you didn't mention using oil after the WD-40 but sure glad you did.

[@mdtransmissionspecialties]

Would you sell the no bueno engines?

[@keithappleton]

Already sold.

[@johnblythe6453]

Just for you to know Keith WD40 is not ideal for lubricating engines what you need is "after-run oil this is available I believe from just engines I have engines years old that are oiled with this and turn over sweet WD40 dries out far to much.

[@keithappleton]

Yes, I oiled them all with a high grade machine oil after the WD40.

[@ackgeezer]

Every ultrasonic cleaner I have ever used (as a professional jeweler) has made noise, some more, some less.

[@josephhull3360]

Man I wouldn’t mind having some of those engines but unfortunately I’m a poor person from USA

[@johanea]

You never grew up, you still play with model trains.

[@keithappleton]

Very true - and all this time I thought they were Toy Trains }:-)))
