A collection of web sites and services related to Gasoline Engines, Steam Engines and Antiques of the Industrial Revolution

Operating from Sarasota, Florida, we are now in our fifteenth year on the web, hosting the oldest running classified ad web site for antique engine enthusiasts. Our ad pages have delivered well over 500,000 ads and we archive over 461,000 related messages and thousands of engine photos. In order to keep up with web site demand, we have graduated through a number of hosts and web servers. Our newest Dell web server is located in Texas at a carrier grade, state of the art data center with redundant UPS, air conditioning, generator backup and smoke detection/fire protection systems. The facility is under 24/7 remote camera surveillance and security guard patrol. The server is connected to the Internet through several gigabit Ethernet links from six separate backbone providers, who each run fiber optic cable into the data center through two separate entry points.
