I've recieved a email asking for help identifiying these two steam engines
Steve has sugested the bottom one is a Josef Falk
I have managed to identify the first one has a Weeden 123 Circa 1913 - 1940
The owner has asked if I would like to buy them
I dont really want them so if anyone here would like the contact details of the seller I'll pass them on

Did you buy that Mike?

I have to say Weedens are not amongst my favourites, cheap and tacky.. although one or two merit a second glance.

No I dont want them Mike
I've decided to go down the route where my purchases have to be boxed and in near mint condition
They do cost a little more but I like good clean examples
I thourt I would help the seller out by advertising the engines here
They are still both for sale

I quite like the Falk (if it is of course), but, like you MIke, it doesn't really fit in with where my collection's going! Shame really, but great to have the chance - thanks.
