All great pieces!

The Gas Motor, while a difficult choice for me, wins out in the end.

  Arnold, Thanks for the posts showing your new finds.

  I'd have to go with the 4159/7 and the gas motor a close second, then the hot air Marklin jumps out at me, it's simple but the base color really pops. But these are all very nice pieces.

I agree with you, but I think the larger vertical plant (#8) would be the most fun to run!  8)

I don't want to single out any of the machines. However, find it remarkable that you have such a well-preserved Doll steam turbine. These machines are very rare and then in such condition. Chapeau!
