Didn´t even know that so many Buckman variations existed :o
Overall a very impressive "table" you´ve set here Nick, thanks for sharing !!!
Came back before the tables get locked, missed your post! Thanks Jan! I never knew of so many variations either, just like Jensens, new ones pop up from time to time :)

What do mean by a blue model Nick? Mine looks just like the one on the left, blue base but with the brass boiler.
My description wasn't the best, I'll see if I can find a picture... from memory, it had a "smoke effect" base with blue trim/engine base, likely made some time between my 2 models.
Here we go, from the Ventix pages, this would be a 1951 model I'm looking for...

From the Ventix pages, I have dated my older model to 1946/7 and the newer model 1959.
I had two newer examples for a short period... I thought they were the same age, but it looks like the one I sold on (left) was the 1965 model. The only differences I can see are in the flywheel, pressure gauge, decal and whistle handles:

Enjoyed the Bing set up Nick.
Really nice job on the video.
Thanks Charlie, this wasn't even on my bidding list from the Hirschberg Auction, but after losing out on all the D&C lots that I wanted, I ended up going for this. Glad I did as it was bigger than I expected :)

As soon as you said smoked base I knew just what you mean't and your picture confirmed it. I've seen those before but it's been a long time.
It's like nobody wants to get rid of them. You'll find one, and then another, and another and, well you know how this goes.

Perfect... sounds like me the first time I steamed it :) :) :)
Talk about "it went to a good home"!
Great video Nick.
Thanks again Scott! Glad I finally steamed it ;D ;D
Post by: Nick on March 02, 2020, 10:18:46 am
Love the video Nick.
The engine ran flawlessly.
And the joy on your boys faces pulling the whistle is precious.
Thanks for your many contributions for GPU 2020.
Warmest regards,
Charlie
Thank you for making it to all of the tables!! :)
I still have one more video to upload that I filmed late last night...

Well executed video Nick! 🤠
Thanks Charlie :)Love the left-hand v right-hand 135's. Thanks Nick.
There is still a blue model (in between these two) that I have seen and would like to add to the collection... can't remember which side the engine was on that one...

I love the Girthy Fleischmann's, sort of the last gasp of the Nuremberg School or traditional steam toys.
Nice pair you've got there Nick, and that they are mirrored to each other makes it even better!
Thanks Daniel, I agree, and the "Girthy Fleischmann" will always be a favorite.
I once had 3 for about a week ;D

A great show Nick. :)
Thanks Bill, just got back home from a toy tractor show with my grandpa and the kids. Was hoping to find an oddball steam engine, but there was just a diecast Ertl Case here and there, nothing special...
Hoping to get at least two more engines filmed this evening :)

A neat double Fleischman Steam Up Nick. 🤠
The double run was cut short by a leaky steam line on the earlier model...
I switched to gas and ran the newer model for awhile

A great run Nick.
Great to se it in Steam again!
I couldn't believe it has sat on the shelf for 11 years already :o :o
That's a lot of Buckmans when many never heard of them. The fire engine, beam engine, workshop are all amazing.
You have enough of them to start a museum 😉
https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_847169
Chris, look again and you may spot 2 of them ;)
I would love to have a better way to display the collection to share with visitors...
Nick, lovely Buckman collection, you did very well lining all these engines together in one photo :)
Thanks Mike, very hard to get them all to show up in a dark room... too many shadows and not enough space to see them all clearly... Will have to get individual pictures taken...
I would love to see which Buckmans you have in your collection ;)
Nick, I love your Buckman collection and the machine shop
is something to be proud of to have in your line up of engines.
I was very happy to have found that workshop and even happier with the price, I couldn't believe there wasn't more interest...
Hi Nick, great collection of Buckmans and Marklins, what's next? ;)
Thanks Bill, I'm thinking about blowing the dust off a pair of "Girthy Fleischmanns" (135/2's) and I have a little Doll with a dynamo that a couple here want to see running...

Post by: Stoker on February 28, 2020, 07:58:02 pm
What an impressive stable of Buckmans you have there. Now I see why you were so excited about your recent "big box" delivery.
Of course Bills Bandsaw is outstanding pretty much no matter what you have driving it!!!
