I must say, I greatly underestimated the weight of small IC engines.

The Owner lifted the Galloway out to the car, and I carried out the Briesch Olds.

The Olds was not too bad to carry, but definitely had some serious mass, and I had to really watch my grip.

When I got to the hotel that night, I picked up the Galloway, and holly molly is that thing heavy !!!!!!

The technique I had to use to carry them was to get 1/2 of them on the hip, and then lean back to support the weight on the hip, doing an awkward walk, but it worked.

The Olds is 1/2 scale with a flywheel in the 8 or 9 inch range.

The Galloway has a 10 inch flywheel, so perhaps a 1/3 scale?

The builder's son sent me a bio today, as follows:

William Zakocs born 6/12/26 in Bethlehem, Pa.. He served in the Navy at the tail end of WWII, upon returning home he worked as a sign painter and had a stint at the Bethlehem Steel, followed by a 32 year career as a letter carrier with the US Postal Service. Naturally gifted in all of the mechanical arts he began building hit and miss model engines as a hobby upon his retirement in 1985. He passed in April of 2020 at the age of 93.

I have a few more photos.
