ORIGINAL: K_Watson

Hello! I have been fascinated by small model engines since I got into my dad's collection as a kid, today at the local thrift store I found a box of engines, a box of props, and a box of mysteries to help start my own collection... But I don't know what I have got... Which ones can I play with and which do I put on the shelf and look at?

(Price tags where on engines already, I am not trying to sell.)

Thanks.

Baby Spitfire with box and paper... This is a looker

Enignes... All turn and all have compression.

There is also a box of weird electromechanical parts... including 3 Essco-Lorenz? vacuum tube recievers, timers, relays, switches, and escapements

if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for all of that?
