2" Scale Steam roller and traction engine models on display at Midland Model Engineering 2007. The 'classic' areas of model engineering interest are live steam models (typically steam locomotives, stationary engines, marine steam engines, Showman's engines, and traction engines), [2] internal combustion engines, [3] and clock making. [4]
A model engine is a small internal combustion engine [1] typically used to power a radio-controlled aircraft, radio-controlled car, radio-controlled boat, free flight, control line aircraft, or ground-running tether car model.

F1B Model by Stepan Stepanchuk. Free flight is the segment of model aviation involving aircraft with no active external control after launch. Free Flight is the original form of hobby aeromodeling, with the competitive objective being to build and launch a self controlling aircraft that will consistently achieve the longest flight duration over multiple competition rounds, within various class ...
Gordon Burford (3 August 1919 – 12 March 2010) was an Australian model aircraft engine designer and manufacturer. He was Australia's premier model engine builder. [1] He produced thousands of engines of many different designs including the GeeBee, Sabre, GloChief and Taipan brands.
SPAD Debonair. Simple Plastic Airplane Design (SPAD) is a type of radio controlled model airplane.. The R.C. aircraft is usually, though not always, built with the body consisting of a lightweight plastic material such as PVC gutter downspout or an aluminium rail.
The engine casing of the early motors is made of an aluminium alloy. On introduction, fuel pellets and wick could be purchased separately, meaning that the system is reusable. [2] Jetex power made a big impact in the late 1940s and early 1950s, allowing new sorts of models, scale and duration, to be designed.
They are often used on "toy" live steam locomotives and engines, such as the newer models in the range produced by Mamod. Methylated spirit, (methanol/ethanol mixture) – which burns hotter than solid fuel, but, as with any flammable liquid, requires more careful handling. Cheap and easy to obtain, this fuel was used with early Mamod models.
