Those are great, I just watched your YouTube video.   What are the ages of those engines?

I've only one Reichelt, which is about the only one I've ever seen show up on the evilbay! Mine is similar to, but somewhat different than the one you are showing at 3 0'clock on the right side of your photo.

1990-2018. Over 2,ooo various engines built solely by Ronald Reichelt of Germany, now in his 80,s and no longer building engines.
They rarely show up here in the states.
