About Us
What is the Red Wing Motor Company?
The Red Wing Motor Company is a small business that caters to the model engine builder and
enthusiast.  We currently have two different model engines in production and the accessories to
make them go!  You can purchase a casting kit or a completed engine that will run right out of
the box!  

The company was started around 1996, by a guy named Jim Foster.   He  wanted a scale model
of the 5 HP Red Wing stationary engine.  A set of scaled down prints were made and casting
molds were created.  Others saw what Jim was doing and also wanted castings.  There seemed
to be a demand for this little model engine.

Vic Greenwood bought the company somewhere around 1999 from Jim and ran it until February
of 2005.  The new owner is Richard Dickey, located in Lead Hill, Arkansas.

To date, the company has sold over 750 of the ¼ scale, 5 hp model Red Wing Engines and
almost 100 of the 1/3 scale model of the very rare 2.5 hp air cooled engine  The engine has
proven its self with many satisfied customers.   Take a look at what we have to offer.  I am sure
you won't be disappointed!
