Feb For sale from Ian Russell: I realise I've got three other car motors which I would build before getting to this Merco, and that does not include any aircars. Hence I've decided to sell.

The second shaft is provided by grafting the front of a Merco 61 onto the back of a small case std. steel fin Merco 61. The motor currently will not turn by hand, and I've not warmed or forced it, nor dismantled it for inspection. £100 + post ". email rustler.aero(at)gmail.com |

Trackmaster castings: Probably the last set of Trackmaster II castings that will ever be available. These have the advantage that the most difficult piece of machining, drilling the length of the back axle, is already done and the axle is built up. A great example of a traditional American car of
the 40s. Contact Peter Hill

Jan Wanted: A competent model engineer to complete a very historic model engine which I have owned for several years now and feel I do not have the ability to complete. It is the Weaver Vee twin four stroke intended to power a Morgan three wheel tether car. The basic engine is as shown on page 35 of Motor Racing in Miniature. But the start of the cylinder head shown is missing. Please contact:- John Goodall on 01283 713715 or email john@johngoodall.me.uk thank you |

2. OWAT Mk 1 5cc fixed compression diesel £150. This 1946 engine is in near new and original condition, serial number D348, with unmarked mounting lugs. The needle valve assembly is a serviceable replacement item, it came to me without one. Many British tethered cars of the 1940s and early 1950s used this engine type, they do run OK, but with a bit of vibration. |

3. EUREKA 2.5cc TWINSHAFT DIESEL £ 120. This is a New in Packaging Russian Eureka 2.5cc diesel engine complete with instructions, tool and spare gaskets as supplied. These are very well made and powerful Eastern Block engines, of much higher revs, speed and manufacturing quality than the better known TEMP/RYTM types, and much cheaper than repro Oliver twinshaft types. Eureka now sold |
