O.S. Engines is a Japanese model engine manufacturer. The company was founded in 1936 by machinist Shigeo Ogawa ("Ogawa Shigeo" in the Japanese surname-first tradition) for the production of model steam engines. The name of the firm could have either originated from the traditional Japanese family-name-first tradition being the source of the "OS" name, or from the firm's actual Japanese name, "Ogawa Seisakusho". At the suggestion of American buyer Paul Houghton, Ogawa tooled up for his first gasoline-powered engine, the 1.6 cc O.S. Type-1 of which 200 units were produced and exported under the brand name, "Pixie." After World War II, Ogawa Seisakusho expanded to produce the MAX line of engines, which won acclaim for their performance and durability.

  • O.S. Engines är en japansk tillverkare av modellmotorer. Företaget grundades 1936 av maskinoperatören Shigeo Ogawa, (eller Ogawa Shigeo enligt den japanska traditionen att ha familjenamnet först), för att tillverka ångmaskiner i modellskala. Namnet på företaget kommer antingen från den japanska namnordningen eller från företagets ursprungsnamn på japanska, Ogawa Seisakusho. Ogawa började tillverka sin första bensinmotor, Type-1, efter förfrågan från en av sina amerikanska köpare. Type-1 var en 1,6 cc motor och tillverkades i 200 exemplar, som exporterades under namnet Pixie. Efter andra världskriget expanderade Ogawa och började tillverka motorer i MAX-serien. Denna serie kom att lovordas för både prestanda och hållbarhet. (sv)
