Great trio, Nick..!!!

What a loss it was to the model steam engine community when John Coleman passed.

A nice trio Nick, I can see why you couldn't pass on it.

Clearly, I'm not able to confirm anything here ..... but I'd put money on your being correct about those all being from the same builder!

Oh yes, 3 of a kind to be proud of. One for each of the boys. Nice group of scores.
They’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands ;) 😂

You may have seen today’s arrival in another thread, well this is why I had to pay up for the 10H… I have had the S-50 the longest which I know was built by John Coleman and came from IndianaRog. He was an ebay seller that went by “The Steam Chest” 10+ years ago, and I believe also a Stuart and PM Research dealer. About a year ago I spotted the PMR twin on an auction and thought it had to also be built by him… fast forward to this past week, I bought a little Bing on ebay and while looking through the seller’s youtube channel, I spotted the 10H. Again, so many similarities that they have to all be built by John… The seller wouldn’t make a deal outside of ebay, but ended up taking a best offer after he listed it on ebay. The ebay seller bought it from Australia, so I cannot confirm where it originally came from…

Some similarities I can think of on all three engines:


Again, I only can confirm the one to be built by John Coleman, but I think they’re a perfect matched set!
