Here you will find an interesting exhibition. Unfortunately closed for a long time due to work on the fire protection system.

Enjoy it.

I wonder if the large vertical with the placard stating ‘Plank’ is actually a Schoenner?

I agree, Schoenner (cause of the inspection holes)

Certainly, the labeling can be wrong. I looked up the machines in question in the Schiffmann catalog. In the picture of the Plank 161, at least 1 manhole is visible (even with a magnifying glass).
Interesting is the note for the Schoenner 165

"Current knowledge: with manhole cover = Schoenner, without manhole cover = Falk; however, whether this has been true since 1917 is not certain!"

The Schiffmann catalog is a trustworthy source for me. Since both machines are unfortunately not in my collection and I can therefore not compare them side by side, I do not want to commit myself.

That is quite possibly correct Jurgen, that would explain the mechanism with the hand wheel on the crankshaft near the main bearing.
I don’t have that mechanism on my Schoenner 165/5s in any case.

  This is a Plank Excelsior I once owned  ???  I think it was one size down from their largest. 

 
Cheers Bob, I collect mostly German steam stationary engines.
