@komet163b I completely forgot these engines my brother sent to me, which I wasn't really interested in.  I think they are Weeden's?  Are any or all of these of use - I am not looking to make $$$ since I got them for free and offer them up for shipping and perhaps a little juice to get them boxed up and dropped off at the post office.

Edit:
The one what seems most complete (the black handle one) its heater works.  I just figured I give it a go, read ~100 ohms so I plugged her up.  Made steam.  The tank seems copper to me too.  Though the engine's steam line isn't really making it into the piston housing.  The housing kind of pivots on this screw with a spring.  Not sure how you work on that, unless you pull off the tank.

The other electric one reads ~95 ohms - could be good too. Though it has more problems with the piston and where it connect to the wheel.
