Popcorn engine

[Mike1957]

Have you ever seen one of the old Popcorn Wagons?
Back in the 40s my uncle salvaged the little steam engine out of one of them that was headed for the scrap yard.
The flywheel is not original to the engine. Original one would have been about 3/4 this size. Also the governor is missing.
Still, kind of a neat little engine.

Only guy I remember working there in the 80s was Greg Benge, but I`m terrible at remembering names.
