My "Rube Goldberg"

The reason I call it a Rube Goldberg is the manner in which the builder has 'plumbed' the engine. There is probably 4 times more copper tubing used in building this than was necessary. The beautiful bends show that the builder was pretty good at pipe bending - no kinks! Nice little whistle on top and a good working reverse gear, make this an interesting conversation piece.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
