I am posting a table for MrsRedRyder to showcase a few of the engines in her collection of miniatures while she is in the hospital keeping a pregnant friend company who is experiencing some medical complications.


Simone will be there until her friend's husband is finished work and can return to her bedside.


Enjoy!


Gil (for MrsRedRyder)


First up...
A couple short videos of a miniature of a Stuart #4 just 1.9" tall built by George Britnell complete with Stephenson's Reversing Linkage.










Next up... 2 Phil Gravett pieces

A Philcraft built Jenny Wren'





Next is a Philcraft built English Penny Engine

Great stuff Gil.

These small engines are a good alternative for collectors with limited space......and for spouses whose husband’s collections take over the whole house. 🤠

I wish I knew who made it. Whoever it was did a fine job.
Gas Engine Tom did not know who it was.

Jewelry of the highest quality!

I can't even work to craftsman standards on regular sized model engines ..... so I'd be hopeless trying to do any of those miniature treasures!!!

Ah, we must have Simone's mini collection…but you forgot CiCi's collection as she is also the proud owner of a steam engine, not to forget with a pink bace…
