Ross engines
The maker of Ross engines was a machinist who lived in Tucson, AZ. His son Herb lived here for a while and I've seen some of the engines. They are beautiful. Herb had all the ones that were in circulation the last time I saw him about three years ago. He wouldn't part with any of them. There was also a four cylinder in line as well as the single and twin cylinders. I don't know where Herb is now but heard that he had moved to Phoenix or Tucson. If there are any more engines out there someone who belongs to Model Engine Collectors of America wold be the ones who would know. They are having a convention and collecto in Tulsa, OK on 22-24 August this year. Woody Bartelt is chairman. You can contact him at [email protected].

Actually, the Ross twins are not rare -- not cheap but not very hard to find.
As Ballgunner said, MECA si the easiest place to find them, and you can find them there in a variety of conditions including New In Box. MECA produces a swap sheet for its members; the swap sheet includes scores of advertisements, many of which have a dozen engines or two in them... if you can get together with a MECA member, I'm sure you'll find for sale ads for the engine in the swap sheet -- they often have phone, mail, and even email contact info, plus a code of ethics that assures you of receiving what's advertised and in the condition that it's describesd as.
Check with engine clooectors you may know, with local flying clubs, or with a good hobby shop and you ought to be able to turn up a MECA member to help you out locally.
