Well, not exactly, it is a salesman model. I want to get a die cast model Famous to tow around with it. Just like my real Titan and Famous!

Is it a working model, or just for show?
If it really works, what does it take for fuel?

That would be cool if it was a working model! Sadly it isn't. It is hand built from sheet metal. A salesman would bring it farm to farm to show the basics of a real one to the farmers.

That might be a cool as your big one.  Is that a reproduction of a model or an actual model from the 20's?

100% real from the teens/20s. All hand built, steel construction, spot welded together, and hand painted. The wheels are not very round either.

Got an engine to tow around with it today! It is an 1/8" die cast scale model of an IHC vertical 5HP Famous. I'm going to build a cart for it. Scale is pretty close between the two. Only thing incorrect about it is, the flywheels are supposed to be a dark green and the push rod is supposed to be black. I'll do some touching up.  Wink My real Famous is a 6HP horizontal.
