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

Might as well show off what I think are other Weedens that are on my brother's shelf, there is a boat (sadly needs boiler replacement) and a cool Steamroller.  I am pretty sure that's a Weenden engine right next to the #60.  These engines all just fell into my brother's lap from his long time friend that passed away last year.

When my brother was a "tween" (he is 47 now) and rolling around on his bike he randomly met a older fellow in his front yard.  I think something cool caught my brother's eye and asked about it.  Which that is how my brother rolls, he'll talk to anyone for just about any reason (especially if you have something that looks old).  Anyways they became fast friends and a large amount of items the older fellow collected ended up with my brother.  Which is how I ended up here asking about Empires a little over a year ago.  I wished I could remember the old guys name but he was in his 80s when he passed.

Funny how a chance meeting changes things and touches others lives.  Like me bugging you all here for the last year LOL!
