Very nice Nick, when would these date from?

I believe roughly 1880's. I also have two horizontal stationaries and a boat, will have to get a "family photo" taken  ;)

You definitely need to do a family portrait Nick!

1890s or earlier vintage on these.  I have a very cool Buckman that I will eventually premier here.  I have fiddled with it a bit, but I have not been able to get it running on air.

I can't wait to see it Charlie!

I tried to add one from the Bertoia sale, but everything went higher than I had planned to bid.

I do like this little brass plug made by the previous owner, but I will still use a cork when steaming...

And I was surprised to see such a difference in design between the two engines, being they are so close in size and were likely very low priced in the 1800's

Nice pictures of two very old engines Nick.

Your new table is really working out nicely.

The smaller is very close in size to a Wilesco D2

A few of you may recognize the smaller one from a recent ebay sale  ;)
