Dave,

For awhile it seemed like I was buying more vertical engines that horizontal ones.  In some ways I kind of prefer the verticals and they generally take up less space than the horizontals.

However, the last couple of engines I've gotten have been horizontals.

I just traded away one of my verticals for the horizontal tank cooled I'm getting, so I think the collection is back to being more horizontals than verticals.  I'll have to do a count and see what the leader.

So here's a little poll for the group.  Do you have more vertical engines or more horizontal engines in your collection?

I don't know if the forum has a way of doing polls, but if it has, maybe someone could create a poll asking the above question.

Keerist, now I gotta go count.....
Get back tomorrow,

I have 6 verticals and I'm down to about 4 horizontal engines that I can remember. Most are covered up on pallets high up on racks and without climbing up there this is my best guestimate. I was at a show last year and spotted a guy I knew with a neat 3 or 4 horse horizontal Galloway. I told him I think I have one of those and he said no, this is it. CRS...
The horizontals come and go, but as I said earlier I'm gathering verticals at the moment. Subject to change anytime...

If you have so many engines you can't remember how many you have, you guys have iron fever BAD!!

I agree I've got iron fever bad:D

I used to think a dozen nice engines was a good size collection.  But then you find a deal you can't pass up and the next thing you know you're getting close to 20 engines.

Maybe two dozen is a good size collection

In any case I don't that big of a collection.  I know a lot of collectors with collections that are many times larger.

My collection still fits in a 30x60 pole barn and half of that is my shop.  So until I need another building (actually I do) I don't think my engine collection is all that large.

Our chainsaw collection started out innocent enough and now numbers close to 50. We quit buying them several years ago, except for a rare unuaual machine at a great price. Every once in a while we look at one and just wonder where it came from.
