Here are a few images of some of my favorite and new additions to my collection Very Happy

Bowman M122 Twin Cylinder Engine.

This engine is one of the engines i have owned the longest, having been given to me by my dad, who brought it at a boot sale for a couple of quid properly about 20 years ago. I have recently resprayed the base (there was virtually no paint left) and painted the boiler mount. I have left the engine unit alone, however in due course i wish to replace the missing oiler cap, cylinder engine cover, plus find a suitable burner. I would also like to add a transfer, any ideas what it should be?



Gebruder Bing Vertical Candlestick Engine

Not sure exactly what the age is however i believe it to be anywhere between 1907-1918. Complete with burner and all fittings.



Large Marklin Piston Valve Slip Eccentric Vertical Engine

Purchased this from a certain online auction site recently, missing burner and chimney, however i managed to run it and went a treat in both directions, although there was a leak from the gauge glass. This stands approx 13 inches tall with a 6 inch square base. Age or type unknown



Weeden No.14 Horizontal Engine
Brought this from the USA, not steamed it yet but there is something about this design i really like



Fleischmann Steam Engine 125-4

Missing pressure gauge but other than that in excellent condition



Gebruder Bing "Bavaria" Horizontal Engine.
Has a wooden base, however the metal base plate has been replaced and the gauge glass has been blanked off i still fine this an enjoyable engine, plus it steams well!



Hope you like the small selection i picked.
