Thank you Arnold but it's pretty modest compared to yours. Yours is the first one I ever saw with
a lathe collection. I now know where all the good ones are, Switzerland.

Some very nice and rare pieces in your large collection -
I have seen many engines the first time and I like your
overtype Series. Very nice "lonely" Maerklin.

Congrats, Arnold

Wow I like that Doll 364-1 !!!!!!!


Is that the original paint on the base?



No Charlie I redid the engine when I got it. There's a post in restorations Doll Redo by Woe.

You did a great job on it. And now I recall your restoration thread.

Thanks,
Tommy

Agree Jim. The Doll 364/1 is a beautiful machine and runs flawlessly. No leaks.

Looks like an enjoyable steam up Tommy.

Really enjoyed the tour of your collection. What's the little lineshaft & tools shown in your opening photo? Thanks for posting.

Brent, that line shaft and tools are from Bing. That's just how it came, mounted on the board
I believe right from Bing.
Everything in that picture is old. The picture is of my grandparents wedding day. There's the
line shaft, and the Dietz lantern was made in 1897.

By the way, how the heck did you manage to get a hold of 3 Blue Thunders?!?!  :o


Got them off Ebay, a while ago.

I must have been asleep 😂

Love the video of your “Lil Buddy”  :D  running better than a Mamod  :D

That Bing twin is probably one of my favorites from your collection  8)

Well thanks everyone, I'm glad you're all having a good time because that's what it's all about.
Now I'm back and have to see some tables. I was busy shooting several more videos I think you all
will enjoy. There's a Redo of my Bing Twin with the workshop, a Doll 511-3 and wouldn't you know
it, when I wasn't looking my Lil Buddy, the one I felt sorry for, jumped up on the turn around and
said, "ME, ME, DO ME". Well he was kind of cute setting there all topped off with water, how could
I say no. Well I'll tell you what, that little bugger surprised me, big time. You watch the little
guy go. Hope you enjoy.

Geez Tom , you have ALOT of nice engines...dang man, I had no Idea.
I gotta go back through the video's and look at some of that stuff again , at 2:50 you had what looked like a little model saw that caught my eye 😉👌
Its worth watching again for just your humorous banter & witty commentary.

Wow, what a table! I really like the the "overhead" jackshaft in the first photo.

Been working my way through your table of exhibits Tommy, wonderful.

I’m quoting this video, because everyone needs to watch it!! By far, the most entertaining steam room tour!! 👏

5:42 “Oh, what the hell is that?” 😂

8:52 “Man, I don’t know, I felt sorry for the little guy” 😂

Whoa Tom .... or should that be Woe Tom?

What a great intro to your GPU table!

Loved the tour .... and each of your videos were very enjoyable .... the little woman indeed!?!?!?

GREAT STUFF for certain and for sure!!!

Great table Tommy.

I really enjoyed the Tour of your collection.

I went down a rabbit hole for an hour, but couldn’t find anything in my catalogs, files or databases on your “Buckman Like” Beam engine.

...and now there´s more, one can´t even get a chance to change to a shirt with droolfree sleeves huhh?

Love the Poznan engine, very nice older one...and completely Eiwi61 free on top, just chuffing away there in its original unmolested condition.

Quite impressed by the Bing as well, it´s a true beaut, and it has even more diesel-sound than a Wilesco D22.

None of the Solar flamelickers here will do "the little woman", or run in both directions, but believe that´s due to their age. The later ones has a different cam on there.

Tom, what an awesome opener you did there!

I absolutely enjoyed myself on that tour, and that lil´HOG sure does a stirling job hauling your sand around.

Nice to be back this year and to see so many familiar faces, oh and look, we have some new ones. They're kind of
hard to spot, they seam to be blending right in and that's always a good thing.
My table starts off with just a picture of things from a hundred years ago or more and there's a tour of my toys
in "The Room of Woe". I'll throw a few more videos in fun as we go. So step on up and enjoy yourselves.
