Problem with scope

I have two related models such as this:

class PartCategory < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :part_types
scope :engine, where(:name => ‘Engine’)
end

class PartType < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :part_category
end

I would like to add a scope to the PartType model such as:

scope :engine_parts, lambda { joins(:part_category).engine }

But when I try that, I get the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method default_scoped?' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class from /Users/bappelt/RubymineProjects/MyStreetMachine/idunno42!/ruby/ 1.9.1/gems/activerecord-3.1.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1082:inmethod_missing’

I don’t have a lot of experience with the scope thing, so I am
probably missing something fundamental here. Can someone please tell
me what it is.
