Nick, I have seen a Buckman here and there...but your collection is fantastic.  I bet there is no one in the US with such a large and varied group of Buckmans.

Well done for sure,

Never heard of Buckman, but those are nice engines.

You have some great stuff, Nick.

Thanks Rog, Charlie and Bob!  ;D  Rog, I know there are others out there with much more impressive collections, wish they would share them with the rest of us...

BTW: I have a copy of a catalog for Buckman if anyone is interested.

Interesting  ;)

I was very disgusted with the way the seller packed it and shipped as cheaply as he could... was shocked how well it survived the trip...

I cannot believe that it could be 140 years old!  :o  If I make it into my 90's, I may see the day that these engines are 200 years old  :o

It had to be good, the engine was probably a whopping dollar or so when new  ;)
