Cabin Fever

Leroy rounded up some of his sons and grandsons to go to the Cabin Fever at York. Cabin Fever is a guy thing. It is a show of all kinds of models and model engines. He likes to go, but not by himself because it's the kind of thing that is more fun when it is shared.
The star of the show for him was some half-scale John Deere tractors like he is dreaming of making. He wants to make a B model like this.This GP model really spun his crank. It sounds just like a real one. Start the video and hear it.



Some of the other models on display were anything from New Holland hit and miss engines to boats and trains and even a tiny cannon fired by a ray of light beamed through a magnifying glass to set it off. Dale thought it would make a unique alarm clock. You could set it on your windowsill, positioned just right for the sun to hit the glass and the cannon aimed just right to give you a wake-up call and get your day off to a running start. Any volunteers to try it?
