I was at the Georgian Bay Steam Show this morning, I go every year mostly for the swap meet.
It's getting smaller every year as the old guys move on. I did find a few nice tools and a 1.5 hp Canadian Fairbanks-Morse 500rpm hit/miss engine. I have wanted one for decades but the prices have always kept me away, I found one this morning I could afford, it's a fixer upper but that's fun part.
Technically it's not a hit/miss but a throttle governed engine, it's missing the magneto which might be hard to find.
I started tearing it down this afternoon. 221lbs made 1918
