Charlie - this is a very nice display - but it is incomplete ;D
there are still many more models from Stuart available....
Arnold
Yes there are Arnold! :)
I have a Score somewhere. Don’t remember what I did with it. Here is a video of it running with my DaVinci Drum Model and Water Pump.

A Stuart Victoria is definitely on the list; as is the Stuart Pump Jack; and the Stuart Air Hammer.
I also had a very small Stuart one-one or No. 11 which went to Gil as a gift and I never was able to get it working. I don’t believe he has ever gotten it to run either. It was a very early version and had a tag that said:
Stuart Turner Ltd.
Makers
Henley on Thames
I had a Stuart No.1 which I sold to Saint Paul Steam. The No. 1 came from Italy and was purchased in the 1980s from the Steam Age Shop in London. Bruce is now the third owner.

Hello Charlie - the Nr. 1 is in my opinion very beautiful and strong but best looking and working
is the Twin Victoria. My Favorit was always the Major Beam - fabulous engine. There are so many
nice ones - haha
The steam hammer also is a great one and fun to run.
Have you seen my Score with reverse?

What a great Stuart family photo...!!!
I also saw Mr. Carette finding his way into the picture.
Easy to see why you needed a display platform strength upgrade.
Very well done!

A very nice grouping there Charlie, all lovely machine for sure.
-
Really nice collection of Stuarts there Charlie. Looks like a Carette tried to sneak in at the back!
-
A very nice collection Charlie - Stuarts are still some of the nicest steam engines in my book.
-
Great collection, over the years I have had the 10H, 10V, D10, Twin Launch, the little ST, an incomplete #9, and four S50s. Have always wanted a beam engine and a 504 boiler, maybe someday!

What a beautiful family you have !

Nice Charlie .... I can certainly see why your shelves may have been sagging a little!
Some serious cast iron on display there!!!

The particle board tops that came with my 72” high x 48” wide x 24” deep shelving units were warping under the weight of my collection.
I replaced five of the shelves (the ones holding the heaviest load) with 1/2” plywood from Home Depot (which are precut to the exact dimensions that I needed),
This job meant moving around many engines and accessories and that led me to dusting them.
It also gave me an excuse to do a family portrait of my Stuart Engines. I do have two Stuart Boilers on a high shelf and I didn’t get them down.
