A few of you may recognize the smaller one from a recent ebay sale  ;)

The smaller is very close in size to a Wilesco D2

Nice pictures of two very old engines Nick.

Your new table is really working out nicely.

1890s or earlier vintage on these.  I have a very cool Buckman that I will eventually premier here.  I have fiddled with it a bit, but I have not been able to get it running on air.

I do like this little brass plug made by the previous owner, but I will still use a cork when steaming...



And I was surprised to see such a difference in design between the two engines, being they are so close in size and were likely very low priced in the 1800's

I can't wait to see it Charlie!

I tried to add one from the Bertoia sale, but everything went higher than I had planned to bid.

I believe roughly 1880's. I also have two horizontal stationaries and a boat, will have to get a "family photo" taken  ;)

You definitely need to do a family portrait Nick!
