Most of the collection is already available online, but I will try to run some engines during the weekend and show them here.
However, starting up with these parts that was found in my scrap bin some time ago...
The work is now completed and will appear here soon

Wonder what's coming?????

Roly Williams

That is fantastic Peter, what a great little accessory.

and now for some steam engines... starting with the Swedish ones
Horizontal and vertical engine from Vingakersboden (ca 1900), vertical and tractor from ADE (1950's) and the Alga John Ericsson (1970's)
Les
Wow, this weekend to save the least is going to be engine overload.
Swift Fox
Those swedish engines are very nice and the Vingakersboden runs a treat with the Stephensons linkage.
Sandman
What great pics and vids.
That pump looks exquisite.

Very enjoyable videos and the water pump is a masterpiece.
Tony Bird
Hi,
I like the pump, very original.
Regards Tony
Bugsy
Nice presentation, Peter.
The pump is a work of art!
...and now down to Nurnberg, home of Ernst Plank...
Big overtype from ca 1930, smaller overtype from 1920's, steam motor with cylinder built in to boiler from 1914, vertical engines from 1910 and 1895 and finally a lokomobile from 1914.
Video from a previous run

Really splendid and I'm so glad Mr Bing could attend
Sandman
What a beautiful well balanced engine.
That slow tick over clip was a joy to watch.
Les
That looks good and sounds great, and what an enviable lineup of engines you have there.

Oh, I love that lokomobile!!!

That water pump works really well. I love the other engines as well, especially the Vingakersboden from 1900.

Continuing the tour in Germany, now in the town of Württemberg and Märklin
Just had one of them running, will be uploaded soon...
In the meantime, here's an old run of the left vertical engine.

The Märklin 402 in action, running by itself at the end
Les
Yet another one to behold.

Your 402 is simply gorgeous.A very high quality engine.
Oooh, your water pump is simply divine
Steam engines aren't bad either!
I totally agree, that water pump is ace!!
peol
And finally in action from Märklin, the colorwheel and the waterfall.
Sandman
That Marklin is simply gorgeous.

Next stop, England. I don't have so many of the British made engines, but hope I can acquire some more in the future.
Stevens Model Dockyard with unknown boiler, Swan M1 from 1920's, Mersey from 1930's, Bowman from end of 1940's and Mamod from 1970's.
The Stevens in action from a previous run.
Coming up soon is the Mersey on steam...
Sandman
Great mix of engines there.
The dockyard runs a treat.
peol
It took some time to get this engine going, but after some adjustments of spring tension it finally started
Les
A wonderful little engine.
Celsius 100
The Stevens and Mersey both running well.Am enjoying all your video treats.
peol
Another of the favorites is this Krauss & Mohr that I found a couple of years ago. The boiler, machinery and chimney was in good condition but the base was really ugly and the flywheels were painted in gold.
Les
What a beautiful old engine.
Bugsy
Perfect videos as usual, Peter.
I love the waterfall!
Phil
Mamod58

I really like that Krauss & Mohr
scalex

WOW, great engines and a wonderful display

Back again after a good nights sleep, starting the morning with this Bing 9641 from ca 1902. It has a reversing level but really prefers going one way, it hardly ticks over in reverse...
Sandman
Great to see the Bing in action, Peter.
Just my cup of tea mate.
Excellent video.
peol
The next Bing to go before coffee time is this 130/511 with dynamo. (Don't know whay youtube did to the preview, but it looks terrible...)
Les
What a beatiful quite engine.
peol
Thanks for all comments
Going on now with the Schoenner engines, one of them with the original box. Together with them is also a Karl Bub workshop.
Sandman
Another great video.
Wonderful engine and workshop as well.
yussufhippo
Amazing; I will take a day off next week and have a closer look at this treasure...
Thanks
Celsius 100
Another three delightful videos.The workshop is a real gem.
peol
The Carette engines. I'm not sure about the electric motor, but I think it could have been made by Carette. Btw, the electric motor is the power source for my accessories during this weekend
And yes, there's a hot-air engine there as well.
Les
Your table keeps on astounding me.
magpie38
wow very very nice Carettes
Sandman
Those Carretes are stunning.
What a line up.
Burnmafingers
Yet more lovely items, and that workshop is an absolute treat
peol
The last one of the Germans I'm showing on this table is from Doll, including a pretty rare turbine.
The stationary to the right is restored and all repainted as it once arrived as a piece of rust.
Just fired the vertical Doll 357/2 in the middle.
The turbine is an old clip, turn the loudspeakers up to eleven
Celsius 100
The 357/2 has a very pleasant tick-over and the 384/3 is certainly different from the norm.

...and the show ends in the US with these two engines, a Frisbie from 1871 and a Weeden from 1941.
The Frisbie only running on air as it's not steam proof.
Thanks everyone for all comments and for a great weekend with so many nice tables, and also a great oppurtunity to fire up some of the engines.
Now I will sit down and enjoy the rest of the show, there's so much to catch up.
