The power museums

Of  all the things I wanted to see in the USA was the power museums and the Tractors, Cars and planes.

It started with the Miniature Power Museum in Carlsbad in California to the huge power museum in Coolsprings ,Pensylvania. then the Air and Space  at the Smithsonian conglomerates 2 of the 19 odd museums in DC , The tractors 100,s up to 1960,s at the Keystone  facility in Virginia and the private one we found with  Linlee and Cheryl Stumn in the Sth east corner of Colorado.

I have published most of these in other blogs except for the miniature engines at Carlsbad .

Most impressive for their smallness and precision down to the miniature self made spark plugs and engine components, Even have a working model of the Wright Bros homemade engine they used in their first flight ,
