摘要

As any old iron collector knows, persistence pays off. Mike Trotnic, Parsons, Kan., can illustrate that fact by pointing out two gas engines from his collection: one a 1906 2-1/2 HP hopper-cooled Foos, the other a 1900 2-1/2 HP tank-cooled Challenge. For about 30 years, Mike had his eye on the Foos. "I knew [previous owner] Bill Krueger since I was 10 or 12 years old but didn't know much about engines then," says Mike. "I just knew they were back in his garage all covered up." As Mike recalls, Bill was a retired electrician, who also collected a pension from General Motors. Over the years, Mike kept asking Bill if he could buy the Foos, but the answer was always a polite "no." Then, at age 97, Bill finally agreed.
