• This un-fired 60 was purchased for a mint 15E with instructions that was included in the auction. I sent this engine to Stephen (Silverfoxsteam) in the UK where it has been fired and enjoyed

  Charlie will recognize this Luton Bowman PW203, sold on as I found one with a metal badge on the base instead of a decal.
  
  
  

  
  And I am proud to have it Nick. It has multiplied as I now have three.

• I haven’t sold much. But, I have done a number of trades and gifted a number of engines.
  
  I do need to move a few more on though.

• Here's a 1980's Jensen 55 that was in pretty good ship that went off to member Timvrip.
  
  
  
  He also ended up with one of these 15's (I believe the left one)
  
  
  
  After seeing his restoration/conversion to a 55G, I was very happy I let these two pieces go...

  Here is how it looks after a complete makeover. It's now mounted on a solid cherry base,
  has had the firebox repainted with copper paint, and the cast iron parts painted with
  a base coat of Duplicolor Hampsted Green and a light top coat of Duplicolor Spruce Green.
  It doesn't look quite as blue in real life.

  Here is a closeup of the paintwork. It's not exact, but I'm pleased with it.
  
  The cast iron Jensen 15 generator was a little beat up when I got it (also from Nick, thank you),
  so I filled some weak areas of the ironwork with JB Weld, then smoothed it out with a
  Dremel tool. Looks almost brand new now.

  
  
  
  And his video:

• A Cyldon 13/3 that I'm not sure why I sold... but it's with Jim now, and I would love to find another like it...

  I believe this 15BL was sent over to Jan along with the iron flywheel 35 in post 1
  

  
  ...and i believe the 65 went this way as well?
  
  Starting to seem like my entire collection is based on your leftovers Nick
  Guess that just goes to prove that "one man´s trash is another man´s treasure", since i´m completely over the top with every deal we´ve struck.

  Some pretty nice trash Jan    Always better to deal with a forum member over ebay.  They were all pieces that I wanted for collection, but my bidding finger somehow brought some duplicates this way

  I honestly can't remember them all... 
  
  I might come across it as I am digging through all my old pictures...

  Geez Nick,  I didn't think you ever sold off anything 😃
  My "gone but not forgotten" list would be pretty extensive,  But there are a few I regret moving on & wouldn't mind having back again 😉
  

  
  And I am thrilled to have a few of your cast offs Bruce. 🤠
