Looks like Saito ships engine - maybe an older model or
chinese kit? Maybe someone from the forum knows more.

The small vertical boiler engine is almost certainly a Microcosm M-6 without the burner.

Your 3 cylinder ship engine is a rare Aster Hobby that is made in Japan. It’s a precious precision item. The manufacturer is no longer making stationary steam engines unfortunately.

Thank you all for the information.  The Aster looks quite rough.  I don’t own it but have a chance to buy it.
