Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Not long ago I started with a busted up Empire B35, Windmill, and small Ferris Wheel - all gifted to me by my brother.  Since then I have gone a little nuts on getting other Empires, first buying for "parts" and then getting more to fix the ones I bought for "parts".  I have kind of fallen in love with the Empire line - so I started paying retail on items I just had to have!  I needed these items like a hole in the head but alas, it has been fun these past weeks/month.

I still need some finishing touches on the items in my photo, smoke stacks rebuilt, there is a whistle lever I need a cotter pin for, and I haven't a proper whistle topper for any of them (perhaps some reader will have pity on me and help me out?).

I also have but not in the photo:
No. 90 - it's a basket case, may never run again.
B31 - Also a basket case but hoping to get running for my brother.  I have various parts on the way to "try" things out.
B35 - Runs but needs a heater @komet163b is helping with a heater for it.  This will also be for my brother.

I told you the collection would grow 😂

Very nice display, I would be proud of them too 😎

That's sweet Wayne - You'd think one of those things is enough?

Very nice display and not available in Europe
you can be really proud of it.
Never have seen one in Switzerland...
Congrats, Arnold
