Two Engines Arrived Today!The first actually came Saturday, but I wasn't home. The post office is closed Sundays and yesterday was Columbus Day, so I had to wait until this morning to pick it up.Opening it up: 
I see a flywheel: 
Tags that were on the base: 
And it's not a steam engine: 
I've wanted a hot air engine for awhile, but decided to wait for an older one. I'm not sure if the base is original because the other Plank ones I have seen have a larger base with firebox. But it does run!  (video later, hopefully running some accessories)
And this second one was dropped off minutes ago: 
Have you guessed what it is yet? I'm not sure either.  I am pretty sure it's a Schoenner or a Falk, but I can't read the letters stamped into the base:
The letters are in between the 2 "Made in Bavaria" stamps: 
More pics (will hopefully run this tonight after work: 
It will eventually need a new sight glass and a burner made:
