Thanks, Maxwell (and Nick). I have positively identified the person/company who made this engine, and it's not Buckman. I'm hoping to find a picture to use in the article I'm working on. The picture I posted here is from a 2009 auction. Even without a boiler a picture that provides a sense of scale would be useful. The company had only been in business a few years when they shut down in 1873. Their engines were more expensive than Buckmans.
@TEC @Nick, the picture below shows the engine I have. I was going to use it as a reference to make a boiler. Also, the frame in the picture is painted, mine is Black with faint pinstripes. (Attachment Link)
@Maxwell, Is this a picture that I could publish? If not, do you have a link? Between this picture and the one above, we can see both sides. I had planned on putting a link to the picture above as a fallback if I couldn't find a picture I'm allowed to use.
Thanks!
@TEC,
@Nick it’s from the Smithsonian American National History Museum website; but many of the other engines’ identifications are wrong & attributed to the wrong manufacturer. I was planning to correspond with them to request the corrections; unless someone here on the forum with the required knowledge is willing to do that.
We can even create a new thread that we all participate & agree about the right manufacturer of each steam item, then send it to the museum curator.
