First post from So CaliforniaHello all,I found my first Toy steam engine in an Antique shop close to were I live. It's a Weeden 14, that seems to be in good condition and came with it's burner and a little funnel. The throttle valve was frozen, site glass broken & handle for the whistle was missing.... which I have since fixed. I must admit I'm looking forward to buying another vintage steam engine.

Hello Bob and welcome to the friendliest forum around.
Nice #14 you have there. I love mine as it is one of the best low speed performers that I have, and really enjoy watching it barely ticking over. Although the engine itself isn't very rare, finding one with the burner is most uncommon it seems, so congratulations on that! |

Welcome from Germany, Bob, it is really a good hobby for all people interested in technical machinery . I think there´s no better way to get involved in vintage mechanics than this one. So you will fit right in here I suppose.
cheers Joe |

And again, thanks for all the welcomes.
It was a funny thing me running across this Weeden. The wife and I were just out for lunch and afterwards I said lets stop in the local antique shop. I spotted the little engine in the back in a cabinet but didn't check it out at that time. Then later that evening I did some research on the Net and saw several Weeden's just like it on Youtube. I couldn't wait to get back over there the next day to buy it. Pretty cool and fun stuff. Not only the Weeden, but meeting all of you, all over the world, I might add. And just from a chance visit to the local antique shop.

Sometimes it is funny how you get your engines:
I really stumbled over one of my engines on a car boot sale when the engine was stored under a table.
