Left to right: Bassett Lowke, Whitney of London, and another twin cylinder Whitney. Love the gears, and Scotch crank on the Whitneys.

We're they built from scratch or castings?
Commercial production, complete or as kits, but I've never seen ones quite like those!
NICE!!!
Very nice, Mike. That is a unique scotch yoke twin cylinder marine engine. Is it by chance a Model Dockyard piece?
Really interesting engines - would be lovely to watch run.

Hi Gil, no Dockyard; these are confirmed Whitney of London. See catalog scan below & read description for double screws meant for Destroyer steam launch:

Very interesting, I love gears & these are loaded with them.
A couple of unique Banjo crank pumps; one steam driven & the twin is belt driven.
The Scotch crank pump can be operated either by steam, belt, or even hand cranking.

What astonishingly interesting linkages these engines exhibit!
My last post for the event; I hope that you enjoyed my table. I wish you all good health; and keep on posting.
This is a Stuart Turner factory built steam operated pump; since they were at their original location “Henley on Thames”

Nice one Mike.
A very early piece.
The breadth of your collection is stunning.
