My table will not precisely qualify as I will share a couple engines that are not mine but
that I had the priviledge of being around yesterday at the
New England Wireless and Steam Museum annual Fall Steam Up.

Even though it poured rain most of the day, the true steam enthusiasts came out.

I will show a short video of Mrs Red Ryder's Lilliput by our own Phil Gravett.
I will also showcase my latest acquisition. This one is not steam but is a hit and miss gasolene engine.
It's a 1/3 scale model of a 1.5 hp Vertical Domestic, ca 1905.

Here is Mrs Red Ryder's Lilliput !!

Here are the 2 steam engines I bought to the Fall Steam Up yesterday.

This is a Stuart Turner #1 with reversing linkage.

And this is a nice running reversing horizontal twin.

Here is the Vertical Domestic scale model

Here are a couple video's of the Domestic that i just filmed for the first time a few minutes ago.

At the Museum,

Here I am at the throttle of a Fitchburg,

Here at the throttle of a Harris Corliss

And now at the throttle of an engine made by The George H. Corliss Steam Engine Company.

"This is probably the only engine designed and built by George H. Corliss that is running under steam today."
